I wet tumble clean my brass.
I use a universal decapping die(~$50) in my press to de-prime, before they go through the tumbler. The universal de-capper doesnt get the crud in it like the FL die, and so less dirt dragged through the press and dies.
Decap, Tumble, Inspect for flaws, Re-size (Neck or FL), length-check, trim if needed, chamfer, steel wool, inside brush, prime, charge, seat, coal check, weigh, label, shoot, and start again.
In the past, I have occasionally tumbled them before de-priming, and you'll never get the primer pockets as clean, unless you run them through the tumbler again. It doesnt hurt them, but you wont get them as clean.
