204 trimming question

I use a Lee case trimmer with the wooden ball, and the drill adapter to trim my 223 and 25/06 brass. My question is, why don't they make one in 204 Ruger? Or, if they do, where can I find one?

So, I thought, maybe I would try the Possum Hollow trimmer. Well, they don't show one listed for 204, either. They do show one for 17 Rem, 221 Fireball, 222 Remington, 222 Remington Mag, and 223 Rem. Would this one work for 204, too, since it is based on the 222 Remington Magnum?

Thanks for your input,

I don't know about the Possum Hollow trimmer, but with the Lee the threaded portion on the case length gauge is too large in diameter for them to make one smaller than .22 caliber. Hopefully I explained that so that it makes sense.
 
I don't understand why LEE doesn't make a .204 ruger case length guage yet either. I have a friend who works in a machine shop and he turned a LEE .223 case length guage down to .204 for me for use in my .20 Practical. It works fine so I'm not sure what the reason for not producing one is.
 
Kevlars,,, Just find yourself a used Lyman case trimmer and it should have the .20 mandrel for the cutter head...The base will lock down any of the calibers..up to and including the .45...

Mine are preset for the .204 and the .223... works well with a cordless screwdriver..
