Scheels LIMITS Caps?!?

[Mad L]

So when did this start?!?
I just checked my local Scheels and they are Limiting sales of All percussion caps:
1 tin per customer!

No matter if it's CCI 100 count tin or 250 count Graf caps - ONE TIN LIMIT!
I tried to put two in my cart and message popped up:
"Your Max Limit Has Been Reached"

No 'cases' available.

I checked other unmentionables and No Limit at all...

It's been a while as I have kept my store full...just in case.
But we were planning a trip to get my wife an excercise mat so I thought I might grab a few tins too, last time I bought 6 tins.

I wonder if I make a day out of it;
Buy one tin, go to lunch, come back and buy a tin, go to dinner, go back and get another...??

One tin don't last long with revolvers, only two or threes days target shooting with rifle.

But Get All The 'Assault' Ammo You Want!!

I like commercial caps when I can find them, but the tap o cap and "prime-all" has been a lifesaver during the shortage.

Go there and buy one with cash. Take it to the car. Go back in and buy another and pay with cash.

It must be the fact that muzzleloader/late season is upon us and they are trying to spread the product out to all the shooters and hunters that wait until the last minute to be ready with the item they need.

That is kinda what I was thinking, but I like my Points, 3pt per dollar spent with the Scheels card and I only need four more coupons to get an unmentionable I want.

I do wonder why all of a sudden the limit; are they combating Scalpers or is there something coming down the pipe - another shortage maybe??

I told the wife I'm gonna write Santa for one of those 'Make your own' kits...just have to choose which one.

BUT 'ONE TIN PER CUSTOMER' now Come On, Jack, that just ain't right!!!!!

There's a shop out this way that will clean out Walmart and resell them for 4x the amount. I don't blame a shop for limiting inventory in hunting season.

 

[wiscoaster]

There's always buying online ..... and paying a hazmat shipping fee. RIDICULOUS.

 

[earlwb]

Yes it is the scalpers. They literally come in and grab everything up to resell. So I do not begrudge the store for limiting the numbers you can buy.

I remember during the ammo shortages where I would show up at 6 am and I was like number five in line. Then at almost 9:00am when the store opens suddenly all of the family friends and relatives storm the line and now I am like number forty back in the line. Everyone would buy the maximum allowed and the shelves would be empty by the time I got my turn.

OP, stop your whining. They are obviously doing their best to stretch the limited supply of caps to as many customers as possible.

If they raised the price to $30 per tin to slow down the hoarding, I would bet there would be even more pissin' n' moanin' from people like you.

Powder Valley just had CCI #11's for $108 per 1000 and free HazMat

 

[Sam squanch]

Nice gesture, but people will just send their family and friends in to buy all they can. Then the caps will be for sale at the local gun show for $40 a tin….

Here in IN muzzleloading season starts next weekend. Not sure what other states are like, I'd be happy to know shops are doing what they can to help more people have an opportunity (even if they shouldn't have waited this long).
