We have a flint lock only season. Walmart carries nothing worthwhile here. Most of my pistols and the few percussion guns I have were made for musket caps.

I did stop in yesterday A sight for my bow, new in package was marked down to $2.50. Never intended on using a sight, but what the heck.
 
I'll start watching in our WM,I have plenty but wouldn't mind 3 or 4 tins to replace some I've used up.
 
Went to Walmart today and on a hunch, decided to go check sporting goods.

I was surprised to see the muzzle loading display up already. And I almost went into shock when I saw CCI number 11 percussions caps stocked on the shelf. I resisted the urge to be "that guy" and panic by every one of them...

I was even more surprised to see that they were only $5 and some change for the standard 100 count tin. I ended up only buying three of them because I already have around 700 caps.

So I guess the rumors about CCI going into production in June are true. Does look like brand new stock to me.

I don't know if Walmart does their own thing in each store as far as when they set up the display.... But I'm in Southwest Florida.

So get out there and check your Walmart and remember to leave a few for the other poor bastards who can't find any.

I still can't hardly believe I found them!
Please, someone tell me, does Walmart only sell such items in rural locations? Anywhere near a "big city" you can only find air-gun stuff, which is fine, but I'm in SE PA and never see Caps. I do know they stock stores depending upon location and needs.
 
Thanks for the update, SB. I'd rather get hit in the head with a 2X4 than to have to go to town but sometimes its necessary to go there anyway. I'll check next time I go.
I hear ya. I hate going to town too. Or even leaving my little property for that matter. But I just might have to hit the wally world in a couple days and see.
 
None of the Walmarts around here stock anything muzzleloader related. Looking at their website and app, I didn't find anything with a cursorary search. Maybe I need to go in store and see if they can order some for pickup for me.
 
But are these CCIs as reliable as they used to be?
Since I started shooting black powder in about 2014 they have always gone bang for me. I suspect a lot of percussion cap misfires might be due to the nipples and the amount of oil in the gun versus the actual percussion cap itself?
