It looks like the label on the tin has changed. The tin pictured in post #1 looks like a cartoon label. Is that the current or new production label? The tin shown in post #3 looks more like the last ones I bought, several years ago.
I haven’t seen any for sale in my area. I’m always on the lookout, but I’m actually doing okay for caps right now, with some old CCI‘s, some really old Alcans, a few tins of Remingtons, and a sleeve of RWS 1075’s I bought between shortages a few years ago. Also enough musket caps to keep me shooting a little longer, including a near-full tin of the old Navy Arms musket caps. I‘m still waiting for Federal Large Rifle Magnum primers, though. I took an interest in blackpowder cartridge shooting at exactly the wrong time!
I was just reading about the epic battle of the Little Bighorn. One of the cavalry officers who was interviewed after the battle, maybe Godfrey, mentioned how the Indians would reload cartridge cases that were considered unreloadable. These were the internally primed center fire cases. The Indians would open a hole in the base and force-fit a percussion cap in it, then fill it with powder and push in a bullet. In his memoir, J. P. Lower of Denver described how his Ute Indian customers did something similar. You can’t help but admire their inventiveness.
Sorry about rambling. Stream of consciousness in the geriatric brain, y’know.
