Thanks, Zonie! I searched and read a very good post. Looks like it would pay for itself in one or two uses.

I’ve been debating with myself about the wisdom of asking this question, because I expect it boils down to political and social fear. but curiosity has urged me on…
Why are people experiencing shortages? Why don’t vendors simply limit the amount a customer may buy? That way there will always be enough for everyone.
I don’t live in the United State so my perspective is “foreign”

Probably, because venders are as greedy as everybody else.
It is easier for a company to ship 1,000 in an order versus to ship ten orders of 100.

Bought a stock of flints ... good ol Englisher flints. Gonna ride this cap thing out. NOT gonna pay the scalpers !!!
My revolver shooting will wait. Shooting them is great fun and a passion BUT the very thing I love about black powder muzzleloaders is the independence they give me. I cast my own, can make my powder and flints are easy to get. My independence is salvaged and maybe it is time to build that flintlock pistol. Maybe this has brought me to another passion with the singleshot pistol. Can only eat 1 rabbit at a time anyway!

Most of the brick and mortor stores do have a limit per customer. But the Online vendors typically do not. Online I understand because the customer has to pay shipping plus the hazmat fee.

Only $3.00 increase to $19.50.
I got wacked for $40.00 hazmat at a place that was the only one to have caps and powder a while back.
Graf's has a 3 tin limit on the RWS caps. Makes the delivered cost just over 11 cents each.
The RWS 1075 caps at Grafs are 250/tin, not 100. I think that is a good buy, at present.

i've been looking for cci percussion caps #11 and there is none,,,too far to drive to get 1000 caps,,,
I havent been in the store as of lately but my Grandson was there the other day and said they had some. 5.99 per 100 is what I paid.
You just have to bite the bullet and call around. Gun shops
and hardware stores. Now, when you find some BUY some.
Don't hoard. Remington,says they are back in production.
We will see, but for me Remington #10 are the best on

Guys, for those that haven’t thought of it, You can just make #11 caps yourself. The tool is only 50.00 bucks to pay once. Aluminum cans are free. Primer powder for 2000 caps is 20.00 or just use German roll caps. I will never buy caps again. My homemade ones work great and can be reused over again because mine are brass. I’m not trying to sell them on here. Just saying that anyone can do it cheap and easy. Just need lots of free time and patience. but it is doable.
