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.

I don’t wanna be that guy, but whenever I’m not if I should shoot something, I generally don’t. Especially if it’s four shells and a few cheap .22s. That said, that small calibre rim fire looks fine 😂

these are just four shells out of probably 50 I just pulled out a couple of examples. Fs tho I won’t be heartbroken if the 22 isn’t shootable

Fair! I was just going on what you posted…and it was only my opinion. I reload, and if I’m ever not sure about a cartridge, I gas it. More of a “better safe than sorry” mantra. Just my two cents. But don’t get your life lessons from me 🤣
