Yup, pull the bullet and wad, scrape the powder out.

Difficulty of scraping gets higher the more compressed the powder is. I don't crimp my loads so the bullet removal is EZPZ. Getting the wad out can be challenging but the judicious use of a small 'eyeglass' screwdriver usually works well. Scrape and dump powder, go slowly and use a brass pick or small brass screwdriver. Neck resize case to remove crimp and true the mouth. Unless something doesn't go well, I am able to reuse all the components and replace those I need to with new. YMMV
