Kinda Bow related, but I plan on getting a better reloading scale. Right now I have a cheap Lee scale and it is ok, but I don't like it. I plan on getting the RCBS 1000 grain scale and a powder trickler for more precise loading. I can also use this to weigh up arrows. I plan on getting a final and best load worked up for my 204 Ruger that I have had going on three years now. Round was to new when I bought it and not much loading data on it at the time. Lots of data on the net now so I plan on working on it as soon as the snow is done around here. Best I had before I put away last time was 3/4" at 100 yards. I also plan on getting a case trimmer, that is a big must have.
So far that are the big ones I can think of right now.

I still have, and use, my LEE scale... you wouldnt think it to look at it but its actually a very accurate scale
I bought a new digital scale not long ago off ebay(lost my old one somewhere and I'm still baffeled about where it went),I paid $8 for it plus $10 shipping, the exact same scale sells for $45-$50 from cabelas, ect.
might be something to check out if your interested in a digital scale

The best thing I have come across is the Rangefinder mount, now I can range and shoot out to 50 yards with extreme accuracy with little to no physical movement, I hunt from the ground and that is very important to me.

I bought a little buddy heater for my box stand. I've only had to use it a few times as it isn't very cold this year but I wouldn't sit that stand without it now. It's a cozy friend indeed!
