What I do when shooting a benchrest match:
Start rifle cleaning process, including bore soaking/brushing...
Take fired rounds out of case. Wipe necks with 0000 steel wool. Rub fingers in a tin of Imperial Die wax, and lightly rub onto cases. Size (deprimes). Wipe cases with towel. Clean primer pockets with Skip Otto uniformer. Prime using K&M primer (or a Lee). Charge cases. Inspect powder. Seat bullets using arbor press and Carstensen seater.
Patch out rifle with three wet patches, then three dry patches, then one patch with lock-eze on it. Wipe chamber with .45 bore swab. Lube bolt.
All that in under 23 minutes.
When "bulk loading" I put the brass in a big box, spray it with lube, shake it around, spray it again, shake it, spray it, then size it. I clean it in the tumbler.
