Unobtainable Percussion caps 😡

[Old Fart]

Can’t find the Remington #10 caps shippable anywhere

Did a bit of research, it appears that the CCI #11 is a viable 2nd choice.

Will be used with my 1851 Colt (Uberti) and 1858 Remington (Pietta) fffG powder.

I will be upgrading the nipples on both pistols to SlikShot or similar

Opinions?

If that's all you can find, beats not being able to shoot the gun at all right?

IMO, all the more reason to get into flintlocks. Flints are easy to locate.

I looked on the net for a while trying to find #11, no go. Went to local Outdoor Connection and they had plenty, both Remington and CCI so I bought 200 even though I already had 200...don't want to run out! May go back and buy some more just in case they become unavailable later.

It's just the nature of the beast right now....with THINGS going on in the world. It will get better!

Haven't seen Remingtons for at least a few months locally. Have been using CCI #11s instead.

Most of my revolvers have been swapped to Treso/Ampco nipples. Those CCI's work, but aren't preferred.

I’ve heard when these panics hit the big outfits halt cap production to make rimfires. Uses similar tech and floor space at the factory.

I have about 1300 caps which should hold me over for a while, at least until things stabilize a bit or I hunt more down if they don’t.

I was able to get a box of a 1000 from Graf and Sons, just sayin..

I buy caps whenever I see them on the shelf. I like to have a dozen tins on hand minimum. That way I can ride through the lean times. I use musket caps, #10s and #11s and prefer NOS Dynamit Nobel (RWS).

The past few times that I've gone to Bass Pro they've had #10 Remington, #11 CCI and CCI Magnum caps. That's here in NH, I'm not sure about your local stores but worth checking out.

Midway has CCI and RWS caps in stock now.

I got lucky and found 2000 for $3 per can.

Check the muzzleloader section at your local Walmart. The Lawton, OK Walmart on 67th St. has #11 caps.

Okie, I live in Southern California, the closest thing my local Walmart has to anything weapon oriented is squirt guns in the summer....

I don't think I have ever even heard of a flintlock revolver........

Bass Pro and Cabelas (same thing) both list Remington #10 on their website with a 20 dollar shipping fee.
Just checked and they are in stock. I have a Bass Pro semi close to me, and used the curbside delivery option.

You can call your local store and have them either ship to you or hold them for pickup.

For some reason, that takes me to the Remington 209 primers. I can slide the picture over to the #10, but when I put it in the cart it's 209's
