RE: Brass start to finish
Everybody does simular things.
New brass, I always size and trim and deburr. Never tumble. I might sort by neck concentricity depending on what I a wanting to do. Or neck thickness or wieght.
Then just load and shoot. Shouldn't have to trim again until 3 firings for most brass. I always deprime separately with universal deprimer. Depending how dirty, I might tumble to usually get off the sharpie marks. Don't want grim and stuff up in my dies. I always keep a fireformed case to measure the shoulders, to set up my FL sizer not to touch the shoulders. I take out my expander ball totally and put thru my sizer. I then expand as a separate operation. I see this does a good job at not pulling the necks out of round so much. I used to just pull the expander all the way to the top of the die but still wasn't satisfired at my results. I then use a 30degree chamfer to make bullet seating easy. Prime and load.
