There are very real risks with surplus ammunition. The stuff is on the market because some Ammunition Technician inspected the stuff, and per his written requirements, removed it from inventory because it had become too dangerous to issue, or to store. Gunpowder in old ammunition deteriorates, outgasses NOx which corrodes the case internally, which helps to dud primers and make the gunpowder burn rate unpredictable,
And no one should believe that surplus ammunition is good or will stay good forever. What initiated the final inspection by an Ammo Tech was probably reports of blow ups at military ranges, and all the sellers down the supply chain know this. But the
Greater Fool theory is in affect, and they know, no one is educating the American shooter about the risks of old ammunition. Because no one makes money telling shooters what not to buy. So Americans eagerly buy surplus ammunition thinking it is "day old bread", and once in a while, someone gets hurt.
Best practice with old ammunition is to pull a few bullets and see if there is corrosion in the case.
If there is corrosion, it is absolutely unsafe to shoot the stuff, the powder, the cases are toast. Bullets can be re used for rock busting. If high pressure indications happen, the safest thing to do is pull the bullets, dump the old gunpowder, and reload with new gunpowder. If you get hangfires and misfires due to primer dudding, you are really over a barrel if those primers are Berdan. If you continue to shoot the stuff, and have hangfires, make sure you wait before opening the bolt, and look down the tube to see if a bullet is lodged.
