that didnt have much to do with the age of the round, it had everything to do with that fact that its Indian ammo... dude, that shits bad, dont put it through semi auto guns, its notoriously bad, the inconsistency in charge weights is frightening.
and some people will say soak it in water, that wont work, bullets are designed to be water tight, some people will recommend soaking it in penetrating oil to deactivate the primer, penetrating oil does work for a while, the penetrating oil will eventually evaporate and the round will once again become live.
I say just shoot it
barring that, manually disassemble the bullets, clamp the empty cases in a vice and detonate the primers, just dont screw it up or you'll hurt yourself
