I got plenty of brown eggs, giving them away. Not giving any caps away at the moment. Contemplating on going to backyard caps like I did with the chickens.

Finally have a gun store here in New Zealand with CCI #11 caps but where they were $14.99 a tin (expensive enough) they now want $35.00 a tin. Think I will be sticking to red toy ring caps for a while yet.

Like others, Ky Gun Company for #11 magnum caps. They are in Bardstown and Louisville Ky
$10.99 a can. 10 cans ordered a week ago and arrived yesterday. Buffalo Arms has powder and can ship to most states.

I was looking at Muzzle Blasts magazine from 1950 & 1951. Look at what they were discussing:

I think they cost something like $3.90 per thousand.

I see caps pop up from time to time online but people complain that they are no longer 3$ a tin in 2023.
So having the chance to purchase them at current prices but not taking them because they long for the good ol days of 30$/1000 caps they forgo their oppertunity only to complain later....
The lesson learned is thus....
A BIRD IN THE HAND IS WORTH TWO IN THE BUSH!
They'll pop back up sometime online usually at bass pro, mideay, natchez, etc.
When you see em, let loose of that vice grip you got on ol' Benjamin Franklin and get what you need.

I 110% agree...when you see them, buy them!
I bought 49 tins of caps a few months ago when Walmart had them on sale for 5.32 each.
I used some of those Ben's to get them. If you're going to shoot, you need the equipment.
Before anyone accuses me of hoarding, I've given away 7 tins to friends that has none a few days later.
I also shoot 2-4 times a week using anywhere from 50+ caps per trip if I leave the flint guns at home.
These were at our local Dunham's sporting good store a few months ago. I left all 27 of those tins for other shooters.
They are available, one must search a little harder to find them.

Somebody once said or sang that "You can't always get what you want, but if you try sometime, you just might find, you get what you need." Spend the money and buy some caps.

Heck when i needed em badly i even bought a few thousand off the gunbroker scalpers... I was so happy to have even found the caps i sincerely thanked the scalper for his service to the community.
Im a capitalist at heart, the scalper saw the demand so he sold some supplies. I respect that , hell its not personal its just business and I understand that.
I for one am happy the gunbroker scalpers exist theyve saved my butt with much needed supplies a few times!

Lol, I was sitting here thinking, how in the world does he know where I live, lmao.
It took me a second.....scalper
I know I was one of the last to catch on....I ordered a few days ago and when I saw it had been shipped I felt relief in it being legit so i went to buy more and it said pick up only....they must finally be low and want to keep some product on tje shelves in the show room. Now I know where to look in the future. I was down to my last 250 so I should be good until the next score

Just picked up some #11 caps yesterday at Scheels!
They didn't have all I wanted so I took all that had, even had the guy check in back.
All the way to check out I heard "HOARDER! HORDER!!"
Life just works out sometimes.

Unless you had several thousand in a shopping cart, why would anyone actually call you a hoarder?
Probably just jealous because they didn't think about doing it themselves.
Either way, had it been me they most likely would have been called what Mr. Spock on Star Trek termed................"Colorful Metaphors".
