I picked up some 7mm 120 NBTs here a couple years ago . Im noticing about 10 in each box corroded around the tip.
I tried polishing them with 000 steel wool . it appears the corrosion is under the tip too.
Ive got Accubonds that I stored in a non climate controlled shed for 15 years that are still shiny

I’ve got some .22 50 gr. That are corroded as well. They still shoot accurately, but they’re just not pretty. Not sure what the deal is with them but it hasn’t affected performance.

If it's corroded under the tip, that can cause issues.
Years back Nosler had an issues with the application of the flux that bond the lead and jacket together not being properly applied which resulted in visible corrosion around the tip and the bullets shooting like crap. Nosler recalled the bullets.
I'd give Nosler a heads up and see what they say.

Just shoot them up, you have to save them by expending them. Mb

Just shoot them up, you have to save them by expending them. Mb I'd experiment with them. Load them up, shoot them with some non corroded ones and see if they shoot the same. If they do and I wanted to burn them up, shoot targets with them. Great for practice, I'd imagine. If it's only 10 in each box, that is nothing to be concerned about.
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

It won't fix under the tip but if you put them in some vinegar and salt for a minute it will clean them right up.
