'Cap Full of Luck'

[springfield art]

Caps! Caps! By dumb luck, stumbled upon the only dealer who had Caps at my area's large regional gun show. Had a dozen or or so blister packs of CCI's @ $15. ea. I got four. I note that CCI is a division of Speer in Idaho! He did say he can't get #10, but I was OK with the #11's. The day of ten dollar caps seems to be in the rear-view mirror.

So are the days of the $1 caps. It doesnt seem that long ago I could get all I wanted for that or less after season at walmart. Now they dont even get them in.

I saw caps at my usual go to gun store for instore sales only last week were reduced from $12.99 to $9,99 for #11 standard CCI. Perhaps that is a good sign for the price gouging to be coming down. Thanks to this forum I read last fall that Walmart was in stock, so I went to several that carried muzzleloader supplies and bought 24 tins for $5.62 ea. I bet they still made money on them and were not allowed to price gouge, but I bet they will cost more next fall when they stock up for hunting season.

Just a few years ago caps were $4.99 at my local farm and country.

Now, $16.99 when and only when they’re in stock (never).

When looking at RWS remember they come 250 to a tin. All this remember when stuff is well and good. I remember when I made $1.85 an hr. So a tin of caps is cheaper now if you look at purchasing power. Combine that with the current antigun atmosphere it is what it is
