Default Powder compression and cartridge shelf life

I read an article that went over some old 458 Winchester loads where the powder had been compressed. They went "poof" instead of "boom". The article attributed the problem to the powder compression in the old cartridges. Your thoughts? If you reload compressing the powder, does it shorten cartridge life?
