Number 11 cap shortage?

[user 53891]

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.

Good man....gettem' while they gottem'

Picked up CCI #10's Saturday in Morgantown WV at Sportsman's Warehouse for 5.99 a tin. They must have just got them in. The wall was full of them.

Geese, I paid twice that much at the only place I could find them.

25 pages of tears and no relief in sight.

Don't know if I would call it tears, more like frustration and sadness for many.

Caps are kind of like money. It really don't matter unless you don't have any.

Could you change nipple to shot these in a Lyman Great Plains rifle.

Couldn’t get through the whole movie years ago, too freaky. Now we’re living it.

This morning the Lawton Academy store had #11 caps for $10.99/100.

Yes. I recall how, after Hillary lost, all of a sudden, the non-existent ammo started showing up at shows at really reasonable prices.

My theory is this..... it's not the availability, it's the price.....

We equate very high prices with availability

There are plenty of online places like that KYGUNCO to order caps, my local places have caps , Powderinc has black powder , it's out there , but people used to paying $5 a tin or $20 per lb are like "I'm not paying $15 per tin for caps that's gouging!"

So that equates to shortage, to them.

The same for ammunition. My local Dunham's has enough 5.56 to outfit a Battalion. All the ammunition I could ever need is available , it's just 50- 75 cents per round now. Online sources have lots of 1000 round cases of common calibers available if you're willing to pay. There's no shortage

Any one of us can currently get anything we need to shoot our guns

We've all seen "shortage" several times.....who remembers the Obama panic of 2008, or the panic after that when people were on the news leaving gun shops with 7 AR15s .

And there wasn't a round of anything, anywhere. Maybe if you got lucky you could score some 20 Gauge birdshot or .357 Sig or some other oddball manure.

We haven't yet seen the next "shortage " so if someone needs to drain their savings account to buy ammunition or caps, I guess do so now

I'd rather spend my money adding more peanut butter and powdered eggs to my stash

My local Dunham's had some , non magnum CCI #11

They aren't flying off the shelves

I think I'm the only guy in my area that cares about caps, most "gun people " are looking for cheap .22

The checkout kid didn't even know what caps are , I'm like "these are like gold" he's like is that like a .22 blank or something? I'm like no they're caps for blackpowder revolvers, he's like oh ok, he didn't give a single--- he was more interested in scoping chicks in yoga pants, like I'm the weirdo in there getting all excited about some caps that no one else in a 50 mile radius even thinks about

At his age, I can see his interest and not in yours.

Was that auction at a mental hospital?

They'll probably just fit. Rifles are more forgiving with caps.

There are effective cap making kits available. Just in case anyone forgot.

I'm considering looking into those.
