Load it and shoot. The question comes up quite often amazingly, here is a thread from a few days ago.

I'd at least straighten the necks out, since Lapua has been sucking ass on that front lately.
After you do that, you can always chamber them in your rifle and see if you can close the bolt on them.
It's a little extra work to FL size them out of the box, but if you have the time, it's not going to hurt. Remember to lube the inside of your necks and then tumble all of the lube off.
If you have a body die, that would work, but you'll still have to straighten out any dinged in necks as a result of s/h. I have the .336 carbide expander ball, so I would just use that in lieu of lubbing any dinged in necks.
We're probably not talking about doing one thousand pieces?
