    My empty cases are stored in plastic ammo boxes labeled with calibre.
    I always try to do all the brass prep up to but not including priming in one go, and have a label inside each box with number of firings and "ready to load" written on it. My usual case prep is inspect, tumble, deprime and size (usually neck collet die), check for length, clean primer pockets, camfer and deburr. I do sometimes inspect and tumble the cases then leave them, my main preference is that if a case doesn't have a primer in it it should be ready to load.
    Cases needing trimming usually get put to one side as its often only a few each time.
