    I do my case prep separately from reloading, meaning after each shooting session I get the cases to the point of being ready to reload, then store them for reloading later.
    After firing I:
    Inspect the cases for cracks, flattened primers, ejector marks, etc.
    Tumble to clean.
    Resize and deprime (I mostly neck size using collet dies).
    Tumble again if lube used for resizing (collet dies don't need lube).
    Check length of every case.
    Trim if necessary.
    Clean primer pocket and check hole not blocked by media.
    Chamfer and deburr.
    Put into ammo box marked with calibre, how many times fired, and "Ready to load".

    When I want to load some ammo I then just need to prime, weigh and add powder, and seat the bullet.
