Same here, though I switched to walnut lately, for those rare times when I'm tumbling cases with no primer (like disassembled reject cartridges). Corncob loves to get stuck in the pocket.I load for pistol only and I use a progressive press. I tumble first in corn con media with a little polish added. Brass comes out clean enough for me and I don't have to worry about media caught in the flash hole.
I find that tumbling after depriming leaves media in the flash holes that can be difficult to remove.
If I were wet tumbling with stainless pins it might be different.
I read a lot on the internet about which order to process brass. Some say "tumble then deprime." Some say "deprime first then tumble."
Which way do you prefer?
I think it depends are you talking wet or dry tumbling
