    yes and no.....
    it can deteriate but lots of milserp ammunition going bang that is way more than 50 years old without issue.
    how bad/inconsistant is the 30year old stuff??? most probably not bad enough to cause miss or issues under 250 yards I would guess
    also ammunition has improved somewhat over time....go back not much more than 30 years and MOST reloaded stuff was better than factory as was more consistant.
    75/15/10 black powder matters
