Got some old #8 BB's that are dusty, are they safe to use?Would there be a way to clean them and use them?

 
Don’t see why not. If they are not wet/damp and the cases are not deformed. Clean the dust off and use them, I found a couple of boxes of express cartridges that must be 15/20 years old in my garage used them with no problems.

 
Do you mean entire shells or just the shot? I don't see a problem with either. If shells, just give them a wipe down and try a few. If it's no. 8 shot, I doubt the clays would mind being pelted by dusty shot as opposed to shiny stuff. But if it concerns you, just chuck the lot in a vibrating tumbler with granulate that is smaller than the shot, run it and sieve out the shot once it's shiny.
