i remove primers first. Yes, I know clean primer pockets do not impact accuracy, but if you compare the appearance of the press I use to deprime brass with all my other presses, it becomes apparent removing primers, even from tumbled brass, is messy. I use the inexpensive Lee Breech Lock press and their universal decapping die for my depriming station.
Once primers are removed, the precision rifle brass gets primer pockets cleaned on a Lyman Case Prep machine, wiped down, lubricated, sized and trimmed as necessary.
All other brass get wet tumbled with pins and Brassjuice. I typically use a very light coating of sizing lube to load pistol rounds to make them easier to size and less sticky in the powder drop funnel on a progressive press.
I do use corncob media to remove bottleneck case sizing lubricant after sizing and trimming operations.
