It's interesting and educational to read everyone's various methods. Maybe I need to start experimenting. For over 30 years, my process has been very simple. Collect my own brass at the range (38 super), sort it, dump it into large Dillon vibratory tumbler with corn cob, add about 2 tablespoons of Dillon case polish, tumble for a few hours depending on what I am going to be doing while it's tumbling, separate from media with separator over large tub, dump it into my Dillon RL1050, after loading put each case through a no-go gauge that matches my barrel chamber dimension. Done. I've had the same carbide dies for 20 years and I will generally do about 1000 at a time. Thanks to everyone for their info.
