Does anyone know where we can get #11 percussion caps. I can't find them anywhere. Oh, and BTW, I did get scammed by that "Midwest Reloads". Shoulda been a member of this forum first.

Powder inc has RWS 11's. You'll have to buy 1000. Shipping is included. Not sure about hazmat.

Every so often Cabelas has CCI 11. Have to check daily they don’t last long, are expensive. They go fast, in last month I got 1000 from there. You got to be quick they go super fast.
I just bought a cap maker from 22 Reloader and they are very easy to make and seem to be working great. Die/Punch initially costs $48, but materials to make priming compound will bring cost per cap down to @$0.015 each.

I shoot flintlocks primarily but do use caps occasionally, I might check to see if I can find some before I run out. 
The smaller gun shops I deal with that carry reloading stuff have them though its intermittent.
A brick of 1000 is not a bad thing, I go through PC faster than primers for some reason (maybe 3 revolvers and two spare cylinders adds up to more than I thought!)
I prefer CCI but some days its been all Remington so that is what I get.

My local gun store had some yesterday, I thought about buying them but I think I have enough and left them for the next guy that may not.
For anyone close to Kentucky Gun Company in Louisville and Bardstown they have both CCI #11 caps in stock for Standard $9.99 and Magnum $10.99. This is less than the $12.99 they were getting a few months ago. They have always had plenty in stock when I have been there. It was encouraging to see the price go down some. I was fortunate to get enough to last me a while when Walmart had them for $5.62 but you had to be quick and visit several stores that carried black powder supplies as not all of them did.

Aint this weird, you’re right, when i looked yesterday it showed red x next to both stores. Today shows green check. I don’t know, maybe cause yesterday was Sunday and store closed. I can’t explain it.
In store purchase only, dam, its like half price steak at the bar but eat in only.

The Bardstown store also carries Swiss, Schuetzen and sometimes Goex black powder as they are the one with the proper storage facility. I usually get Schuetzen as it is $26.99 and Swiss has gone up to $39.99 now from $32.99 the last time I bought some. I am not far away so I go there to stock up and save the haze mat cost from ordering at the online vendors. Just posting to let folks close enough to make a visit know they are usually instock. If you call first they will have the powder ready when you get there as they keep it in a special storage building not in the showroom store. The website is normaly correct about instock but may sellout before you get there so they encourage you to call first.
So why in the he double l are they so high? And more importantly why is there a shortage?
Remington would have been out of ops for a while during their bankruptcy and divestiture or split up and out however that is phrased. That would have been a huge crimp (pun) on the market.
As an oddity, I got some Gold Foil rem PC a month ago. I did not know what I was looking at but I gather they are far from new as the latest is back to Green Material.
Was Vista cleaning our warehouses and found them? Not a clue but its pretty odd. I was getting CCI 11s but have not seen them for a bit. The ASP is not happy with CCI (most won't fire) but likes the Rems of either Gold/Green cap material.
