That is a desirable goal. The company in Cat Scratch becomes a better source when they have the product that others don't have in stock.

Yeah but how often is that going to happen?
Personally, I do not let my inventory ever get to the point where I a m worried about supply.

Have to agree.
Even Iowa might as well be the dark side of the moon to me. Not driving there to save a buck.
Same here. I'm at about 1800 on caps. Some of those caps may outlive me!
So let's hear it for the guys who learned to make their own powder and knap their own flints 
Comfortably_Numb
The Evil Mike Brooks
$20 per tin of musket caps.
I've went to a gun show every weekend this year. I've bought 4 muzzleloaders, 2 stocks, a sig p226, a Ruger PCC, a canik 9, 1000 #11's, 2 jugs of T7 FFF, a powder horn, range rod, ordered stuff from deer creek and Dixie. Will be going to Indy 1500 this weekend
There are plenty of muzzleloaders at shows in my area. But no supplies.
Send me a pm
They are only selling caps to the customers that also buy BP.
Hunt n Peck when Im between a plan to attend any gun show. Well in socialist NYS & Jersey forget them wont waste my time. Guns are air soft rifles and pocket knives fishing and loads of camping stuff maybe a few shotguns. So being an hour from PA and soon to be living there, all the gun shows I go to are within 2-3 hours driving areas in PA or occasionally NH. As for the time between, its hunt n peck, when out driving with my wife we always stop at every gun store we see when shopping around thrift stores and antique /thift stores and garage sales. You just never know, what you can find. You wont find it sitting home. I found a gun store in New Milford CT by shear accident call Jolly Rogers back around 2018. The owner was far from Jolly, lolol cranky old guy like the Soup Nazi on Seinfeld, but deep down he was a good guy. Ask a dumb question and he throw ya out. But they had loads of the old stuff for great prices. He wasnt a bad guy once he recognizes you from going there. He never had a computer, fax or emails it was all done snail mail telephone and those old carbon receipt things where he hand writes your receipts. They have recently closed their doors cause the owner (in his late 70's or 80s past away) I do miss that place. But to the point, he had so many PC's and never held a limit and BP. I never horded but still between his place and a few others I found, the last 2-3 years have close to a 1,000 caps. Found 2 rifles for a bargain and black powder to keep me shooting. Point being get out there on a nice day, check on line for some places first or places from word of mouth and take a drive. Grab the Mrs too, mine most times takes the ride cause shes into quilting and lines up a few places to stop at of her own. We have a nice time out and I actually get her to say (most times) "you want it, just get it" I do the same with her. Hey happy wife happy life and sometimes when out looking you do strike gold!!!

I remember a gadget that you could use to make your own percussion caps out of empty beer cans. Does anybody know where I could find one of those these days?
Huh. That was not the policy last fall. I guess pick up some powder and caps too.
