Well, you could see if they chamber in the new rifle first. Wouldn't hurt.

Nothing to lose..give it a try
I guess I could wait until I get the new rifle back from the smith. To resize them all would be a pain as I guess I'll have to lube them again and not get any on the primers.mor I can just resize them as if once fired , it's only a pack of primers gone.
primers are cheap, if they dont chamber, id treat em like once fired and knock em out and start fresh, just my humble opinion
there's an understatement. I asked if the old lady wanted to learn how to resize brass, she looks at me, then the pile and back at me and politley told me to fck right off.
I have decapped and re-primed using the same primers without any issues. More than I like to admit it, I've had to pull and resize 100 FC brass after annealing and not FL sizing. All 100 primers were reused without any issues.
I think they are neck sized.
Same here. I'd do as bsand suggests. While I don't know what technique you use to apply lube, I just roll the brass on a lube pad with a tiny bit of lube. There is very little risk of contaminating the primers with lube.
I used a decapping die to decap, then I resized and primed.
As others pointed out, try the brass in the new rifle when you get 'er back and you might just get lucky and they chamber. If not, a 100pcs ain't too bad. Use a decapping die and carefully pop the primers out and save 'em for later. Resize your brass and clean off the lube then reload 'em. Wear glasses and ear plugs when decapping live primers just in case you set one off and scare the poop outta ya.
If it was me, I would wait for the new rifle. the brass might fit. It is ok if they chamber with a little resistance.
Modern primers had a lacquer seal on the compound. you could not contaminate them if you tried. Try it with some oil. Spry a few and then seat and fire in the basement. Loud, aren't they?
if you have to FL size them, put the decapper rod and lube/size the cases.
