The Lee trimmer setup even works when converting brass from 1 caliber to another. Just run the brass through the full length sizing die then size with the correct gauge. I've made about 100 8mm Mauser cases from 30-06 and .270 brass. Works way faster than hand cranking the Lyman trimmer.

The easiest way to go, and the cheapest would be to buy the Lee trimmer set up. You could probably buy both caliber gauges and the lock stud and cutter for $15 or so, and you can chuck the lock stud in a drill and be motorized from the start. When you trimmed with the Lee setup it will trim all the cases to the correct length every time without any measurements. With a combo chamfer deburring tool for about the same price you'll be in business and motorized for all three steps.

I read about the new hog regulations and the closing of catoosa shortly after posting this. I was kind of hoping for a chance at a hog while hunting somewhere in Tennessee but since that's not the case I'll probably end up in Virginia because I will have nearly 400 acres to myself up there and the deer are more than plentiful. Thanks for the advice though.

Up until recently I had been planning on going to Virginia to visit my grandmother and hunt on her property, but now it looks like she won't be home the week that I plan to go hunting. Since Granny wont be home for me to visit with I was thinking about going hunting somewhere closer to home. I'm wanting to camp somewhere around Catoosa but it seems like all the campgrounds I have found online don't allow gun possession on their property or look like retirement villages . I was wondering if anyone knows where I would be able to camp, that would allow me to skin my deer, and wouldn't throw a fit about me starting my truck early in the morning. I'm not going to raise hell or cause trouble but there is a good chance that someone would complain about the truck. If anyone could point me in the right direction I'd really appreciate it.
