The Mountain Man shop in Manatou Springs, Co has a good supply of most sizes. I paid $11 a tin for CCI #11s.

I paid $5 this past weekend for the last tin of CCI #11s that a small store had.

$11 hurt, but I had been looking for a long time with zero luck. That place is expensive, but they have everything. They had a brass '51 Colt Navy for about $100 more than I recently paid Taylor's for my steel one.
Boy, I felt abused and soiled in January 2021 when bought 5000 RWS 1075 Plus caps delivered to my door for around $280. Really thought I would regret over paying. As previously posted, I may have hit a jackpot.
Checked out .22 Reloader | Home and only saw 22 LR stuff. And for what it is worth, tried out a ‘Tap-o-Cap’ or similarly named product maybe 10 plus years ago and was not impressed. Believe I purchased it from Dixie. Only time I had significant FTF issue with percussion caps. Learned lesson and have stocked up with commercial caps since, not worth saving a few bucks and having FTF at the most inconvenient times. I’m willing to pay $0.05-$0.06 a piece for caps that go bang nearly every time.
In todays market that is not a bad price.
great store! i sell a lot of my lube through them.

With the cap maker from 22 reloader and there prime all I make really good caps for not very much cash. If you buy the powders from fireworks supply places the cost can be about $.20 per 100. I shoot BP matches using Pyrodex and these caps and haven't had a misfire in the last hundred shots..Using the toy role caps will not work very well.
