I am currently reloading 300wm and I'm fairly new to reloading I am looking for a good order to follow. I just started using stainless steel tumbling which is amazing btw.

Here is my typical order;
1 deprime since stm cleans primer pockets
2 tumble to clean for dies
3 fl size using Larry Willis die for bulge
4 neck size if still within head space limits
5 bump shoulder if head space is too tight
6 trim if needed
7 debur
8 uniform flash hole on new brass only
9 tumble again to remove lube
10 anneal every 5th firing
11 prime and load

Let me know if you see anything that may be out of order or something that can help me be more efficient.

here's what works for me
shoot em
neck size till bolt closes hard 3-5 times usually
bump shoulder .0001 using fl die set up with headspace gauge
trim only when within .0010 of MY CHAMBER -using chamber gauge to measure
300wm brass last a loooooong time this way
so I get to CHOOT EM way more !
