If I oven heat treat or water drop them I'll wait 24 hours before shooting. Otherwise no.

Not really. I'll cast a bunch and put them in boxes that bulk brass comes in. When I get the urge I'll size and lube a bunch and put those in smaller boxes in my components cabinet, ready to load when needed.
