Back in my Arty days (late 80s) we shot some *really* old stuff that
fell on the outside of your 20-30 year period (late 40s and early 50s). 
Normally the powder wasn't that old but we used some pretty crappy stuff
that left the barrel looking like a lint trap.

Of course we weren't in combat so perhaps that's how they decide to
"destroy" the stuff.  Use it in training.  ;)
