Reloading WWII 30.06 brass

I have 750 - 1000 rounds of WWII 30.06 ammunition with head stamps ranging from DEN 36 (Denver Ordnance Plant, Denver, CO) to FA 42 (the classic Frankford Arsenal, Philadelphia, PA) Some of the rounds are in stripper clips which appear to be original and some even in bandoliers. The rounds have been well cared for (stored in sealed container a dry environment with a package of Dri-it and at a moderate temperature). I've cleaned some of the rounds and fired them at the range to see how they would perform. To my surprise they performed as well as any other commercial rounds.

Now, I’m considering reloading the brass. Other than reaming out the primer crimp and reducing the powder charge to compensate for the heavier cases what other things should I consider in reloading the brass?
