#11 percussion caps

[Rickt300]

Last year I used my TC Encore because I could not find any #11 caps for my Renegade. I found one place that has a $40. hazmat fee, limit two but out of stock! Any local Texas retailers have them on the shelf?

 

[bang]

I've got someone out of state looking. Still no luck.

Travelers did have them but are sold out. I check Powder Valley, Grafs and Mid South several times a day. I’m getting low but am patient, for now.

I picked a heck of a time to get back into muzzleloading. Guess the half tin I found in my box o' random gun stuff will have to last for a while.

I’ve got a small stockpile of #11s for the cap rifles I have- yet if I want to go have some fun at the range, I’ll be taking my Flintlock and randomly shoot the cap guns.

I’m planning on getting one soon after all this.

I'm in the same boat and probably have 60 caps left over from 30 years ago. When I started my .40 build I ordered a percussion lock with the stock and hardware, they sent a flintlock. Instead of returning it I decided to keep it and ordered a percussion lock. This way I can shoot even if caps don't exist.

Doesn't anyone look ahead anymore? Caps are out there.
Just have to look and have some $$ stashed for the occasion.

To bad you don't live close to me. I have several hundred caps, mostly RWS, and don't shoot percussion anymore. I would give them away if I knew anyone in need.

Glad I inadvertently stockpiled when I did. Sometimes dumb luck prevails.

Musket caps are available from a few places like Graf.
You could get a nipple for your gun.

Until January building a muzzloader wasn't on my radar. I'll shoot the caps I have and if needed install the flintlock. I'm not paying stupid prices for caps, there is plenty of other stuff to shoot.

You will have to look it up, but several members here say you can make your own caps.

I found some #10s at Bass pro but no #11s to be found. There's a guy on YouTube called Sharpshooter that sells a kit for making your own caps out of beer cans. He sells a punch and some magic powders that you mix together and it makes priming compound.

I'm mechanically challenged and they worked for me.

I’ve got thousands in 11’s 10’s and RWS 1075’s. I ran a WTS, want to trade, for 4 wing musket caps. (deleted by the mods as a violation) Guess no one lives near Charlotte County Florida. Can’t mail the bloody things.

Yeah, me too, but I'm still cutting back some.

Not that I’ve found

New to the forum. Why was your post a violation?

I went out Friday and shot about 10 of my homemade caps. 100% success rate with them. I used a homemade cap maker and filled the caps with a very small charge of black powder ignited by a cap gun cap.
