Scheels currently has #11 caps, but no #10s.
However it looks like there are no Scheels in Arizona yet (web say they are planning one in AZ and one in ID by Fall of 2023).
Not sure if they ship anywhere but to their stores.
For what it's worth they are $9.99/tin now.

I did not see any wads either. But lots of places to get or make those.

I just bought 1000 RWS 1075 caps from Flintlocks LLC at the muzzle shoot, might check with them, Google will bring up their web site.

I would have never checked a site called flintworks LLC for caps.

Its a motorcycle company a few miles from me.
Did not find any caps any where

What is the problem with caps at the moment? Its just as bad here in Europe. I have had 2 boxes of 250 on order since March - estimated delivery in June! Wish I'd ordered more than 2 boxes now...

Have you ever tried to " make " your own percussion caps ? It's way easier than you might think. $20 will get you enough of the chemicals needed to be able to make thousands of caps . You can even get a kit to punch out a formed cap.
Making your own percussion caps just adds another dimension to a life-long pastime/hobby or whatever you want to call it .
Whatever you choose, have a blast.

Invest a few pesos and buy a lead ladle, and a round ball mould running round ball over a campfire is a good project, get you a cap making thingy make some caps as to powder it's a hunt is on, it's out there you just have to look for it. The ball mould and ladle are pretty common for most vendors, I suggest Larry Calahan top notch products. But there are other vendors just as good. Enjoy the journey but if I was you, I would not wait on gathering the needed items.
