Used Brass..., New Rifle

[scsims]

I'm having my Rem 700 .308 trued and rebarreled back into .308. The old brass is Lapua and loaded 5 times. Is it prudent to full length size the brass and start using it in the new chamber or should I start with new brass?

fl size, trim and let fly. The brass will form to your knew chamber

If the used brass is in good shape then use it.
In my opinion new chamber/barrel then yes full
length resize brass.

Full length size and go for it. I have seen where a tighter chamber near the case head will not chamber brass previously fired in another, looser rifle. When i have seen this it cant be sized out (too thick in the webbing). I think this is fairly rare, but if you struggle to chamber in your new rig this is probably why.

Fine tune the FL die so that you don't bump the shoulder any more than needed...

Shouldn't 5x fired brass be annealed, or was it already done?

Yes I annealed these after 3 firings.

Great. Just checking.
