Default OK to resize loaded ammo?

SITUATION: I just had my 22-250 M70 rebarrelled, and now all 400 rounds of my neck-sized ammo won't chamber. The ammo goes almost all the way into the chamber, but the bolt won't close. There are some scuff marks about 3/8" from the end of the case, which seems to indicate that the case is just a hair fat near the end.

QUESTION: Can I remove the decapping pin from a full length die, lube the case well, and then run the round up into the die just enough to squeeze down the case?

I really don't want to pull all the bullets from 400 rounds, and was hoping this solution would work.
