Inspect, then lube 10 at a time upright w/ Dillon case lube (spray).
FL resize & decap
Wipe off lube
Measure length
Trim if necessary
Clean primer pockets
Chamfer necks (inside and outside) and check for split necks.
Dry tumble w/corncob media 3 hrs.
Tumble in media separator
Blow each case out w/ compressed air. Peek through flash holes for media.
Put finished cases in bins containing only finished cases w/ common headstamp
When I'm ready to charge/seat, I place finished cases in reloading tray.
Set up powder thrower and digital scale
Throw, weigh each charge, top up with trickler
Charge all cases in tray, then inspect to be sure each one is uniformly filled.
Seat bullets (generally 20 thou short of lands)
(I'm going to start playing with seating depth).
Put loaded rounds in MTM boxes and lable
Record all info in binder

I don't see any need to tumble cases prior to resizing as I store them in MTM boxes to keep them clean. Wet tumbling just adds another step (drying). Corncob media absorbs any lube inside cases.
