I honestly do not think it would be a wise idea to shoot corroded bullets despite the fact you cleaned them. Gun safety is always a must, so you must treat every scenario you are shooting the gun in, and guess the worst that could possibly happen.

Now, by taking that approach, you'll realize any type of bullet that is corroded will NOT and I repeat NOT be safe to fire. So your best bet would be to discard to bullets at a shooting range, or check what you do with the bullets according to your state laws.

more like oxidation to the surface of old lead is fine in my opinion as long as the interior and primer are good and dry other than if its corrosive primers but even then just clean after shooting.

one other trick is a little DW40 sprayed on the wipe with rag wash hands. #2 do your own research on led oxidation, and vinegar
