Got #11 caps?

[granth]

If anyone is in the CenTex/Williamson County area in Texas, I've seen a bunch of tins at Cabelas and Bass Pro Shops recently.

I am very fortunate to be well stocked.

I was Very well stocked, but thought I was getting out of muzzleloading and sold almost everything.
But the Holy Black sucked me back in.
Picked up an excellent T/C Hawken in 36 cal.
Then a Miroku Hawken in 50 cal.

all my local stores are well stocked with #11 percussion caps

Calebas and Bass Pro have Remington #11s for $13.99

better prices for both CCI and Remington at Scheels:

Dunham's has #11's and people aren't hoarding them, I think that idiocy is dying off slowly, thankfully

 

[Stantheman86]

I barely have time to get out and shoot anymore, so 1 tin of caps is pretty much a years supply for me

Bought 2 unmentionable hansguns from them over the years- no problems.

If anyone is in or near W. KY. Paducah Shooters Supply had #11 caps last week, $11.99 per 100 IIRC.

Just bought a couple tins at my local academy sports. They are well stocked.

The Academy Sports in St. Louis (Manchester) has nothing for muzzleloaders.

Very little here but do have a few things in northeast Arkansas.

Don’t overlook WallyWorld whilst driving all over hell’s half acre looking for sporting goods stores.
Fella posted a pic last week, display box said 5.34 a tin… of course it was empty because he bought them all… but that’s a great price. Ask the guy what day their truck comes then check back.

Yes!!!!!

Today the Lawton Academy store has #11 caps for $9.99.

 

[harleynut]

Right now I have zero caps.
Only ones I found local, the guy wanted $15 a tin and they were very old.
Looks like I'll be using some
Small Pistol Primers .

Cabelas online has them in stock

Check the Walmart inventory in stores near you:. SKU number for CCI #11 caps is CC10311:

Okie Hog,

I used the sight but got a message of "No product was found for the SKU you entered."

Is there another SKU or did you accidently type the wrong number / transpose it incorrectly? I do that with numbers at times myself.

 

[SmokepoleSam]

Boom Stick I got the same message, but if you look at the top line it says you can look up the sku # for an item which I did. They didn't have any in my area. The proper sku is 824707657. Good luck.

Interesting reading… the company seems kinda slap-dash in their habits. But some of their customers are even worse… glad I’m not in that business.

KYGUNCO doesn’t sound any worse than dealing with Cabelas and Bass Pro. I have ordered things from Cabelas or Bass Pro, had a delivery or pickup date, and then eventually been told the order was cancelled or the item is not in stock, etc. I have had good dealings with them too. I have also had great in-person dealings with KYGUNCO. I might have been a little perturbed with Bass Pro, for example, but I wasn’t a whiney crybaby about it (like some of the BBB people sounded). I have only ever filed a complaint with the BBB when there was no other recourse and for scam-type stuff.

Not really. Just glad I stocked up a long time ago. I learned to keep stock way back in 1996 when the rumor went around that primers were going to be made that only had a 6 month shelf life. Primers went from $10 a thousand to $26 a thousand overnight and that was only if you could find them. I said never again would I ever be caught short on supplies. And I haven't.

I have lead, bullet molds, cases, powder both smokeless and real black plus all the other things that go with making my own ammo. Shortages and runs on ammo have no affect on me. I thought that was the whole point of being able to reload? Or in this case shoot muzzle loaders. Without ammo and ammo making supplies a gun is just a fancy stick. I have had my caps long enough that I don't think I paid over $3 for a single can of them. Most were bought when they were $10 a thousand. Paying $11 for 100 caps would be hard for me to do. If it came down to that I would probably sell my currant guns and just buy a flint lock and get serious about making my own flints.

They don't seem to go bad. I didn't shoot BP for at least 10 years and my shooting pouch was stored in the attic with a capper full of caps. In the Texas the heat in my attic gets well over 100 degrees. When I shot for the first time in a very long time I used those caps in the capper first. Everyone of them fired perfectly after being left in the attic in the heat and the winter cold. So I never had a problem with buying in large quantities.

I recall the First Great Gun-n-Ammo Panic, when we all thought that Hillary was a shoo-in for the White House, even guys who never intended to reload stocked up on modern primers.

The first one happened earlier than that. Her husband prompted one as well. And then there’s the ‘68 GCA. That one just pissed everyone off. No more buying S&W triple locks (or whatever) through the mail…

That’s my thought too. One of my neighbors hates Cabelas and has for a long time. Swears they’re out to screw their customers. That may be true today, I don’t know, I haven’t shopped there much since they started carrying all the Bass Pro/KMart level of quality merchandise. No thanks. I can go to Walmart if I need cheap Chicom crap.

But his beef dates back to the 1970’s when they were a top tier outdoor sports mail order retailer with the most generous guarantee on the planet. He just wouldn’t be satisfied with their service. I could not understand that. Still can’t but I remember being in his kitchen when he was on the phone with a CSR and he was cursing at them for some slight, real? or imagined. (Oh yeah!)
