this is why I love hacker news. the actual article is shit. NASA source, but shit. terms you fucking nothing about the "how". then you come to the HN comments and it's a bunch of smart shit, each comment 100iq higher than the clickbait NASA bullshit they are nested beneath.
boomers hang on too long. it's a characteristic. they sit on Humanity's wealth like dragons, equally incapable of doing good with their wealth as they are unable to pass it on to a generation less fucking selfish.

shell condition is definitely a big "if" there, the shells are inconsistently packed and apparently factory workers will steal the (hard) copper forcing wire that cleans the barrel from fouling from some of the shells... and powder that is not stored consistently is itself dangerous and unpredictable. heat, humidity, time, etc all can paradoxically increase the burn rate of powder grains, stabilizing agents leak out etc.
there's an insane amount of 8mm mauser out there due to it being a relevant caliber for like 60+ years, and some of it has been stored in awful conditions and tends to... develop overpressure.
