Thats at Powder Valley. I got that in an email last week. Time you hang freight and hazmat its no thanks for me
The good thing about powder valley is the no minimum order on powder and the $20 hazmat fee. You can just buy a pound if you want but I'm going to get a couple.
Also good news. I watched a video that seemed pretty legit at one of the gun shows where CCI officials were present.
It said that sometime in this month ( June) they are going to resume production of the CCI number 11s and a small amount of number 10s. So they should have been going in to production since it's already close to July and they said they'll be in stores in the next couple of months. Hopefully we will see some this month.
But it also said they do not manufacture percussion caps all the time. They have to shut down and retool a production line. Of course percussion caps are but a tiny portion of their overall profits but it said that the officials are aware of the large demand for them and are answering the call.
Hopefully this is true. All powder and no caps makes for a sad day
Powder Valley is a good place I have no problem with them. I have ordered many times from them. But Im good on caps for now and I dont need to buy any at that price. I know there good caps but not worth that much to me
I'm still sitting on 400 so I'm not paying that elevated price unless I'm just out. Firing about maybe 40 shots a year I can afford to wait

Bought a can of 11's from Bass Pro online for $14.00 delivered to the store. Might check them out. This was five days ago.
If CCI is the only perc. cap maker this is going to be the 3 years in a row i don't buy caps. Won't waste my funds on them.
I go through that many in a day at the range with a rifle. A lot more if I take my ROA. Kinda glad the flintlock bug bit me before the shortage hit.

Amazingly I found a pack of 100 Remington tens at the local gun store today. I went ahead and bought them even though I have replaced my stock nipples on my 1858 with the slix shots. Number 11 fit the stock nipples loosely but they fit the slix shots just fine. So if anything I might have to reinstall the stock nipples to use them but it's nice to know I can use them somehow.I go through that many in a day at the range with a rifle.

Boy do I feel like a dummy. After ordering on-line and way overpaying, I went to the only sporting goods store in Monticello. They had CCI 10 and 11, and Remington 10 and 11. I picked up 5 packs of CCI No.10 for 7.99 each. I asked the kid have you had any trouble?
He said not really, just people not liking the higher prices. I think they ranged from 7.99 to 13.99 with some at 11.99.

Gun shop in Ripley Ohio has #11's for sale.
They have been hanging on the shelf for almost a year now.

Any time I see a gun shop owner trying to screw over gun owners, I pray their business fails.
There was a time when gun folks stuck together.
Not no mo.

I ordered 500 musket caps from TVM . All you do is change the nipple. I since have got the kit to make caps at home and bout 1500 ##11 caps.
I just received 1000 CCI caps from Midway no problems
Good Lord. For that price no wonder they have been hanging on the wall for a year.
Hopefully with #11 caps starting to show up in Walmart's across the country it will help a lot of people AND force the stores that are gouging to lower their prices.

I think with the prices going up weekly i shall try to pick up a few tins at maulmart today.
