[QUOTE="DaveB, post: 4776921, member: 5958"] I check length and if trimming is required I do that first. Then I chamfer inside. then outside. You can and probably should dry tumble with the primer IN if the brass is dirty. Then decap. Next I wet tumble, Dawn and lemi-shine as MUP says is the recipe for brass you can use as a signalling mirror. I have the Frankford tumbler, magnet, and separator. FL size is next and this is the step I spend time with each piece of brass to be sure no splitting, no cracking, nothing is amiss. Once FL sized I prime. Then stored upside down in a plastic ammo box ready to be loaded. I do not do any of the above for a given caliber until that caliber has no more brass to load and fewer than 20 rounds to shoot. For example, This hunting season marks the end of my 30/06 stash and I will be doing all the above on nearly 600 pieces of brass. Last year I did my 243 stash. Year before I started to do my 22-250 and realized trimming was required and since that would have been #6 I tossed them all and started fresh. My 300 WinMag is also on the to-do list. [/QUOTE]
