I would go with an electric grinder. I started out with my wife's kitchen-aid, then I bought the small 1/3 hp no 8 Cabella's grinder about 6-7 years ago and have been wishing I bought atleast the next size bigger. I only do 2-4 deer a year. It works great and I don't plan on getting anything bigger anytime soon. As far as stuffers. I bought the stuffing tubes to fit the grinder. worked good at first but you couldn't use it making hotdogs so now I have the 5lb vertical crank stuffer. Makes sausage making fast and easy. Good luck and put the money you would use on a hand grinder towards an electric.
