Expired ammo????
Yes, ammo can go bad, but I have shot tons of 60 year old ammo.

Back in the day I bought a 1916 7mmMauser (7x57) carbine in “fair” condition for seventy-odd$ and they threw in 500rds of WW1 era ammo. I culled a couple with cracked necks, but the rest was fine...burned that up for years.

I have a load of 8mm mauser from 1947 that works just fine.

True. Like that 1960s stuff the CMP sells. I've not had a misfire yet with it but opening the spam cans is sometimes challanging. :-0
