Old gunpowder has burn rate issues, it does not burn evenly. That has, and will, cause pressure spikes. Old ammunition will blow up guns. Not each shot, but shoot enough of it, and bad things will happen

I am not buying that one little bit. Where did you come up with this?
I've shot old ammo (tons of it) for years. Military and civilian stuff with out a problem.
The DCM and now the CMP sells ammo that is in excess of 40 years old. They certainly wouldn't be selling it if it presented the dangers you've mentioned.
Don't take Slamfire's word on this. Don't take my word for it. Go to the CMPwebsite to the section "Ask Orest" and post the question to him, (Michael Orest is the Chief Operation Officer of the CMP) or go to the Ammo forums of the CMP site and present that question.
The CMP sells some pretty nasty - old stuff, but it shoots good. Some may be corrosive but clean your rifle properly after shooting it and you'll have no problems.
