Here's how to spot the scam:
Vaguely appropriate company name.
And the " Hi we're online and can help" pop up box
The biggest tell, is that the item you want is in stock, and priced normally at pre Brandon levels. (While big mainstream established companies supply is spotty, and rationed.)
Next, if your payment choices don't include a credit card option, it's a scam.
I've even seen this format selling taxidermy items.
So remember;
In stock
Buy as much you want
Normal prices
Unprotected payment options
Never heard of them

Graf's had winged musket caps about a month or so ago. I haven't checked back. I bought 2,000 for my Richmond Carbine

The NMLRA has about 13 thousand members; I wonder how many muzzleloaders are out there that are not members? Interesting thought.

I live near a major metro area; no such supply at my local Wally's. Guess out in the more country areas, I see something like this. I can't even see a Wally that has real .22 rifles or that shotgun they sell.
2 different Walmarts within the past few days........
that is a real good price wish they were in the 2 walmarts around me

local walmart had five and I bought them all, will last years for me
That's the reason people can't find them when one person buys 5 years worth at a time
Not quite 5 years for me...more like 6 months. I already gave away 2 of those tins I picked up last weekend. Also...shooting 3-4 days a week & allowing friends to shoot them too, the ones I bought will all be gone by Christmas 2022.

Stopped into my local WalMart…we don’t even have muzzleloader supplies. No wonder the thought never crossed my mind…
Gentlemen and ladies ..There is hope ..my nearby Walmart put out 20 tins of CCI #11 today around noon ..went by after I got my work done .. 9 tins left ..$5.32 each ..after talking to the department head who says this is not their first "batch" and they expect more ..so I did buy 3 for me and 3 each for my two shooting buddies ..
I will say I (and I am sure others) have been bombarding CCI 2 or 3 times a month with complaints that whoever they have been dribbling out what percussion caps they have been shipping IS NOT WORKING as only the scalpers are getting them and profiteering them at 4/5 times suggested retail ..
Maybe ..just maybe CCI has made a choice and we WILL see a fair price and reliable(?) flow of caps !

No caps at Walmart in Greeley. Im not sure they ever carry them around here.
Yep, but you're not the average shooter either though. I quoted a different person, not exactly sure why you quoted me on that response? He went from buying a 209 primer adapter, to buying every tin of caps that Walmart got in. Completely different use case scenario than your high volume shooting.
I think it's CCI fulfilling their Walmart contract, may have been sitting in a warehouse for the past six months until this time when hunting stuff starts getting put out. Lots of smoke around them not producing any new batches for a while, muzzleloader shooters shooting caps is a pretty infinitesimal share of their production. They're making money hand over fist on centerfire stuff right now. Not sure their shareholders would like them to stop that. We can only hope though...I mean, is it too much to ask for #11 Magnums while they're at it? Lol
