I'd still look at Lee's Quick trim deluxe. $28.00 for the trimmer and die and each additional die is only $8.00 and it chamfers and deburrs in the same operation as it trims.

Simple. Chuck into a portable drill. Confirm trim length setting and adjust as required. I do in the basement listening to the radio. One bucket of untrimmed brass, a box to catch the shavings, and another bucket for trimmed brass. Simple. I use the 308 trimmer for 260 also. I have multiple other more expensive 308 trimmers including the Dillon but this is the one I use.
I process most of my rifle brass in a progressive press so the Lee Quick Trim is tailor made for me.I find it to be very accurate and easily adjusted.

I found that it's likely to be a little cheaper to buy the standard Redding die set plus the accessory micrometer seating insert they sell, rather than buying the micrometer die to start with. One of the rare occasions where that kind of thinking seems to work.

Not another dime.
Everyone has an opinion on how to make accurate ammo. Its like a couple of grandmas arguing a cornbread recipie. No winners. Only pursed lips.
Anyhow, to,add my .02....
One of the best investments I made when going down the road of accurate ammo (for my .308 initially) was the neck expander/uniformer die.

I spent a lot of time chasing vertical error until someone turned me onto this.
It doesnt take a lot of gizmos to make good ammo. It just takes good consistency.
Avoiding tradtional resize die with the neck expander button down near the decapping pin is essential. The button stretches the case neck as it's pulled back through. You can use the original size die but remove the decapping rod with expander and decap as a separate step. Using the suggested die from the above post is one good way to accomplish neck expansion without contributing run out. If your funds are limited, consider a Lee Deluxe Collet die set.
