Welcome to THR lots of great people here.
My range has a nice combo of clay (sticky) and sand (abrasive).
I usually sort picked up brass and toss the various flavors into different buckets of soapy water to soak while I am running the first cleaning pass on it all.
I then do a quick run through the wet tumbler with pins (1/2 an hour or so), citric acid and car wash and wax, let dry and then resize/deprime.
I will run these through again for about an hour and they come out great.
Let them dry then prime them at some later point in time.
(I use a Lee hand primer and can prime cases while watching football on the TV etc.--Wear Safety Glasses!)
Later when I go to load on my LNL progressive or Lee turret I just use the primed brass.
Some extra steps but I really like not having to mess with priming while I am loading.
I also feel having the cases already resized helps me get more consistent OAL when loading on the progressive.
Do the primer pockets really need to get cleaned, probably not, but the shiney brass makes me happy even if it does not shoot any better.
For pistol no difference if you resize with the pin in or not.
For most rifle the case neck expander is on the pin so you need to use it.
