I deprime and rotary tumble. What I notice most is primers seat easier...not a big change but enough to make priming smoother. I use walnut media and don't remove "dust" out of the primer pocket either. The size media makes all the difference in how many flashholes get plugged. I have to clear 1 or 2 of every 100 with a wire.
