Would a bullet eventually completely degrade if it were shot in space?

Yes. It would degrade all the same though if it were just placed in space rather than shot. What will eventually degrade it is the constant bombardment with high energy particles that are abundant near stars but will be found in any place with differing frequency.

Edit for clarification: The process might take billions of years or even longer than the current age of the universe, depending on how small the broken down chunks have to be in order to be considered completely degraded. But yes, it's going to be dust eventually.
