That green gel dip has been used for ages to protect cutting edges from rust or being dinked rolling around in a drawer.I suggest you find some form of paper or plastic tube to replace it for storage.

I suggest the "paper clip" check for brass that may have been fired in an MG.

You have figured out your LC brass will likely have crimped primer pockets to contend with?

Trying it out will tell you if you have to anneal first,but the brass gets worked some first firing,it gets worked again sizing it down. Who knows whether stretch rings or neck splits will show up first. That's what you need to learn.
I can't predict it.
