Do you do it with the primers in? Or does it depend?
When I despair, I remember that all through history the ways of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants, and murderers, and for a time they can seem invincible, but in the end they always fall. Think of it--always.
Inspect.
Trash bad brass, decap GTG brass.
Tumble.
No need tumbling brass that end up trashed.
Depends. I do pistol cases before I size them because I don't lube them. (Carbide dies) I do the rifle cases after they're sized to get the lube off.
Luck is the phenomena created when Preparation meets Opportunity .
Both ways... depends.
Signal-0 Productions Firearms Training... for the working man.
I normally remove the primer using a Lee universal decapping die and then tumble my cases. Only problem is removing the tumbling media from the flash hole in the cases afterward. Someone said they used rice for polishing and cleaning cases. I tried that and it worked pretty good but the dust on the cases and in the tumbler was bad. I threw out the rice. Still going to try some of the NuFinish Car Wax as suggested by Rumbler. It is just me but I don't normally tumble after resizing. I am just paranoid that I may miss some media in the case. Again it is just my paranoia. Both ways work fine.
I am in the "Both ways . . . depends" camp also.
I'd rather be lucky than good, but I'd rather KNOW I'm good than HOPE to get lucky.
Ok. Depends.. On what?

Bulk ammo; no.
"Match" ammo;yes.
Why is because consistency = accuracy. Burnt primer residue buildup is inconsistent.
Maybe that is taking it to a ridiculous degree, but I do know that the more consistent my ammo is the fewer excuses I have for missing. I hate missing.
