Projectiles changing colors prior to usage

Anybody have issues with the projectile on their rounds changing color/ tarnishing/ oxidizing or whatever is going on here? Does this cause problems or is it no big deal?

Slight discoloration is just brass oxidation - not a problem
If you're seeing white or green corrosion, I wouldn't shoot
If you have corrosion on the case like this, don't shoot. The case could possibly rupture.

that's just brass oxidation. If you want the rounds to look pretty again, you could rub them with a paper towel and a little toothpaste or Brasso. They'll shine right back up.
DO NOT rinse them with water. You run the risk of getting moisture inside the round.

Please tell me you have at least cycled a few magazines of your CD rounds through your gun...

I'm impressed, Shexter. Not many folks realize that toothpaste is a mild abrasive agent that can be used for cleaning of gun bores and metal.

I was cleaning my carry today and took them out and noticed the tarnishing
