    Ummmm
    I think the rest are good. Just not the longer ones that are in one ammo can.
    I would consider them all suspect.

    Both cases in your OP appear to be handloads as the primer pocket crimp appears to be removed, a step necessary to reload the used cases.

    Here's the thing, I'm assuming it was all free. If you chance it, shoot them, and there's an issue that blows up a gun, how much are stitches or worse going to cost you?

    I have heard stories of older loaders getting a little dementia and loading up crazy stuff like rifle cases full of pistol powder. It has happened.

    Don't get me wrong, if you shoot every round and they work great I am happy for you. I just need you to understand that it only takes one bad round in all those cans of unknown ammo to give you a lifetime of regret.

    I wish you the best of luck in whatever you decide to do with them.
