Misc Safe to shoot?

Post image

I was gifted some miscellaneous 22lr and 12g shells . They have varying degrees of patina and corrosion (see in sample). Do you think these are safe to shoot and if so what level of corrosion is to much.

You can brush most of that corrosion off with a bronze brush. It'll stick a bit in the chamber but should be fine otherwise
