Graf & Sons?
Back Creek Gun Shop always has them in stock and ships. RWS and other brands too. Jackie farms and doesn't always answer the phone, just keep trying.

I like Back Creek too. Good place to get some powder. It was convenient for me..., after dropping off the daughter at JMU, following Spring Break, I'd swing by on the way North, and pickup the annual reenacting unit supply of powder.

Indeed, John and his family are GREAT FOLKS to do business with!!!
BTW, I've tried different brands of Musket Caps over the years and RWS is without a doubt my all time preferred favorite!!

Unless you plan on seeing each other soon it might be far better to have Back Creek ship them direct to you. They ship almost every day, UPS.

Remingtons are all I have been able to find for several years. They perform fine and fit the popular nipples.
Remington is the only brand I ever used on my revolvers in competition but they don't make musket caps.
I vote RWS for all, musket and #11's. 20 + years of competition shooting live rounds not for noise re-enactor shots. They cost more but are worth the price.
In over 38 years of using RWS caps I can count on one hand the number of defective caps I have found and I believe in 25 years of shooting my wife would say the same. I bought a thousand RWS 1075s and when I get back to revolver shooting I will be trying them.

I began using RWS No.11 caps in 1974, after my first trip to an NSSA Spring National Shoot. I have tried others over the years for both Rifles and Revolvers and went back to the RWS as the most sure fire and consistent. Consistency is a huge deal for accuracy.
Though I did a lot more reenacting with Rifle Muskets than live firing since 1980, and though I have done some competition firing with them, I also tried a couple other brands of Musket Caps and went back to RWS for the same reason as their No.11 caps. I always felt it more than worthwhile to pay the extra for RWS caps, even for reenacting.
