I've just gotten back into reloading, and because I've been firing factory ammo for a while, I've accumlated somewhere over 300 cases..probably enough for years of shooting. As I'm looking to experiement with "reciepies" in my two 270 rifles, while minimizing my time at the bench, I'm seeking to batch some steps to save time.

Tumble / polish -- clearly, no reason not to do them all as a single step, if in multiple batches. My objective is to get them all done, then put the tumbler away. Any tips on keeping that "freshly tumbled" shine?

Resize and seat primer: Is there any reason NOT to get all these done, and save the powder measure, bullet seating for later --- perhaps as I gather feedback on how my rifle(s) like a particular bullet and powder combo?

Your thoughts are most welcome! Thanks
