on once fired brass I deprimed ,cleaned in tumbler what steps should I do next as far as annealing sizing etc thanks
 
what are you shooting? what are you trying to do and are you new to hand loading? as to your question you can size your brass load it and shoot. welcome to the forum
 
Here's my standard routine:

1. Deprime
1b. Anneal every 3x firing
2. ultrasonic clean
2b. clean primer pockets if really dirty
3. full length size (I don't neck size)
3b. Trim every 3x, chamfer/deburr
4. clean in tumbler
5. prime with hand primer
6. load
 
tumble, size, trim, deburr flash hole, uniform primer pocket deburr case mouth, prime charge seat bullet
 
I neck tune new brass, deprime already fired brass, clean, fl resize(bump shoulders 2 thousands) trim, debur, , anneal every third firing, prime, load charge, seat bullet to 20 thousands off the lands, crimp depending on load (hunting or semiautomatic) most of the time I don't crimp on anything match grade, lastly check concentricity and correct it if need be.
 
Anneal every fourth firing (I only get 8 firings before replacing the brass on this gun so I anneal at 4 firings pain in my backside or I'd do it more often)
Tumble brass 3-4 hours
FL Size/deprime
Trim debur
Tumble 30 min to remove lube.
Prime
Powder charge
Seat no crimp
 
Powder, patch ,ball. Oh wait wrong forum.

Same thing for me. I check after every shooting for defects .clean and reload. Unless Im in need of a different load. Then I work one out.
