Curious about availability of percussion caps in Europe, Africa, S.America, Asia?

[Widows Son]

Hello, I hope everyone is doing well.

The rarity of caps in N. America and Australia is well discussed on our forum.

I’d like to hear from muzzleloader shooters on other continents. Can you get percussion caps as readily as you always could?

I did miss that, thanks. I wasn’t looking for the costs so much as the availability.

Such figures go hand-in-hand. Would YOU pay AUS$0.25c for ONE percussion cap?

Being in Brisbane, yes, if I could find it

(BUMP!!) Sorry I missed this thread somehow. Yes here in Europe they are readily available. This was not the case a year ago and beyond - you could hardly get them for about eighteen months, and profiteers on gun sites over here were selling batches of ten for ridiculous prices. The Ukraine - Russia war seems to have been a factor.
