#11 CCI caps and bullets

[Bird]

Good morning. I'm looking for some advice. My father was into muzzle loading back in the day. While cleaning out a storage unit I found his old cleaning kit. Among other things it contains round ball bullets and CCI caps.

These are really old. He passed away in 1995 and they would be been purchased late 80's or early 90s.

I don't want to dump them in a landfill. I'm not sure if the caps are still useful. Any advice on how to dispose of these?

Give them to someone who shoots blackpowder, they will figure it out.

They should be ok to shoot, if keep in good dry place.

I am still using caps from the 1980s when I stocked up, plus I have older ones that still work. As others have and will mention, as long as they were kept in a dry location they will function just fine. Find a local blackpowder shooter to give them to and you will make their day.

Please don’t throw them away. As said, the caps will be fine. Now you have a good excuse to dip your toe into muzzleloading.

TDM, Ha. That's not likely. However my father was a big fan so much respect to those who are into it.

Attached is a picture of what I'm talking about. They were stored in a closed tackle box inside a Public Storage unit. There are 12 of CCI caps containers. 1 1/2 boxes of the bullets.

Any idea how to find a local person who shoots black powder? I'm assuming mailing these would be a no go. I'm in a large metro area. Pretty sure there won't be any muzzleloaders on next door or facebook.

Take them to your local gun shop and donate them. Or take your dad’s gun out and have a little fun.
