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.

How do you clean white corrosion off lead figurines?

I tried a 5% solution of household vinegar and although there was some chemical reation and a slight reduction in the white chalky covering of the metal, it did not do the whole job to my satisfaction. Try a stronger solution of 40% vinegar which you can find at Amazon or at any organic gardening supply outlet. It works great as an organic fertilizer and a bug killer as well.
