So Zarqawi et al rolled up in one of their taxis and loaded up 3/4 of a million pounds of high explosives. Riiiiight. Then why are they using old shells in their IEDs?

I've never, not once, heard of the bombings in Iraq being anything but IEDs, usually from 155mm warheads.

No one has ever asserted that the bombs are RDX.

Then why are they using old shells in their IEDs?

Exactly, if they had this much High-Explosives, they would be blowing up whole truckloads of RDX in humongous explosions on a daily basis and we would have lost 1000's more men.
