Best advice I can give is don’t worry about going overboard on the grinder

What he said. I have a hand cranked grinder that I use to process pork butts when I get them 2 to a pack on sale and make my own pork sausages of varying types.

The grinder is excellent for just that purpose, but not so much for stuffing. It can still be done, but is more work than it really needs to be. I just told the wife I am getting a stuffer that can hold about 7 lbs. of finished sausage stuffing to use to stuff my casings before I do this again.

I get the casings on-line and they are cheap as can be and last for a very long time stored in the fridge.
