Old Ammo

yea, looked at the pix and the stuff with corrosion an the basei would have said trash. you can't have that corrosion without loss of the original metal and with it being where the primer is, there isn't much other support back there like the side of the cartridge or around the neck when firing. 22 ammo isn't cheap today, but it's not that expensive
 
Had over 5K rounds of mixed 22LR given to me. Guy said the boxes got wet in His basement for maybe half the night. He out them on a shelf and they sat there for several years. I had to peel the outer case off and then open the individual boxes with a pocket knife and dump or pick out the cartridges. Put them in a vibrating tumbler with a couple extra tablespoons of Brasso. Came out very nice, only the lead was black. Been shooting them for a couple of years without a problem. Yours look similar.
