I have close to the same process. I like to do all my brass prep work first. Then the brass is as clean as can be when you load it, there isn't even any finger prints on it when I'm done loading. Although I am extremely anal retentive.
-I dry tumble first just for about an hour. Just to knock the majority of Carbon and dirt off the brass.
-Then sort by caliber
-Then I lubricate, resize, and pop the primer
-Then if Rifle cartridge I trim, chamfer, and debur
-Then if Military cartridge I Swage
-Then I Wet tumble for 4 hours using Thumblers Tumbler, with 5lbs of steal pins, one squirt of Dawn, warm water, and one .45 brass full of LemiShine
-Then I dump the Tumbler contents into an RCBS media separator, and rinse everything with a shower head for about 5 minutes or so using cold water(I stick the shower head in the separator)
-Dump media separator (clean brass) on a beach towel and roll the brass back and forth in the towel about 10 times (like a bowling ball).
-Then spread the brass out on the towel for 24 hours to dry or use a fan to cut the time down
And Presto Bingo, you have perfect like new brass. Out of the 10's of thousands of different caliber brass i have run through this process, I have found just a couple pins still stuck in the case or like 5 or 6 stuck in the primer hole of .223.
