IMO, failing to de-prime before tumbling is a losing proposition, even though I know that some less than motivated individuals may still go that route.

BTW, as stated earlier, 15-30sec of brass only in the running tumbler, removes +99% of media (WITHOUT THE "TOOL"). Just restating...
No not wrong, sorry. It is imposdible for media to get stuck in a flash hole when you are sizing & depriming. Whatever is "stuck" there gets removed with the primer. Dry tumbling, no advantage to depriming 1st but you have seen the disadvantage. Some people like to do extra, unecessary things, all good.
