#10 caps ?? Are they available

[Cannonman1]

It seems that the standard suppliers don't have them and anyone who does is a scam!! Is there any source for percussion caps that is reliable. I refuse to pay the Gunbroker scalper prices. I know this topic is probably worn but just wanted to test the current waters.

Saw some about 3 weeks ago in a sporting goods store in Danville KY.

Spotty, only one shop left in my area that carries them and they've been out for a while, was getting on wait lists from interwebs places I buy from. Get ready for the all the folks to tear ya down because they don't have trouble finding them and can't fathom why everyone isn't like them.

Correction. I bought one of those kits to start making my own. Been making the caps here and there to build up a supply to finish making them once my supply of factory ones runs out.

Change the nipples to #11s if your revolver will accept them.

Looks like making my own is a good option. I have reviewed the videos and I will try that. Eventually it is probably how we will all do it.

There is another recent thread about making your own. Plenty of good tips in it like folding the can over to double the thickness. From my early experience it does make a better more uniform cap. I was having to discard several doing it in a single sheet no matter which method I tried for forming them. Probably won't get around to making the mix and finishing them till the summer heat drives me inside. When I ordered mine there was no wait, had it in 3 days.

I did!

I have not found # 10 or even #11 in past few years. I saw some #11 over in Ky. but they were those cheesy cci caps

But even the cheesy CCI caps can be better than no caps at all. Unless these are the cheesy CCI caps that have a problem with the priming compound falling out. Then a drop of Duco plastic cement will glue the escaped priming compound in place. All the fun o making your own percussion caps without the tools.

I just bought musket nipples n musket caps

I've wondered about this. My local has managed to restock #11 and musket caps but no #10.

Haven’t seen Remington #10’s in a long, long time.

Remington #10's & 11's at a local gun shop last week. I picked up a tin of 11's @ $10.95 tin

Thanks,
