I deprime w/ the lee universal deprimer, then tumble, then size with the correct sizer/deprimer die (this step sizes and knocks out any media stuck in the primer whole) then clean primer pocket and trim to length if needed.
 
Tumble straight off the range, then load, tumble after that to remove lube-do a final polish. Leaving a chunk of tumbler media in the flash hole, is a no-no. It makes for inaccurate loads.
 
+1 to C.R.A. exactly how I do it.
The whole process.
Deprime with universal deprimer
tumble
lube
resize with deprimer pin to clean flash hole
bell mouth
tumble briefly to remove lube
hand prime with Autoprime
charge with powder
