Howdy, A gent at the range yesterday told me that Remington is no longer making #10 or 11 percussion caps? Has anybody else heard this? Their my favorite.
 
If that's true the ones I have are rare...
LOL
Funny you ask though -- I recently saw a sale on them and think they referred to them as a "closeout" which struck me as strange, but maybe I'm wrong.
 
rare I have about 600 Remington number 12 caps. got them at a estate auction. they were in a box lot. I thought I was bidding on a sleeve and a half off cci number 10. paid $30 for the box lot. got home and found a box of 1000 Remington 11 the cci 600 rws a sleeve of cva and some others. I came away with 5500 caps even some musket.

I was in the local shop yesterday and my favorite clerk mentioned he couldn't get them any more. He wasn't sure whether it was a Remington deal or their supplier. Remington has been stuffing the pooch with anyone but the biggest box stores, making it really hard for small guys to get orders filled on a timely basis. You might check Walmart or some other big box to see if they have them. Might purely be that they can get them and smaller operators can't.
 
Problem with buying Remington caps is that they come in blister pack with a large card board sheet. They are meant to hang from a peg board display in a place like Cabelas and contain 100 caps.

CCI caps come in a small box and it holds 1,000 caps.

Remington may have packaged themselves out of business.

Friend ordered 10,000 Remington caps and they came in a huge box, his 10,000.CCI caps came in a small box.
 
I bought 500 or so Remington No.11 caps and the powder charge was laying in the bottom of the tins, I was not impressed.
 
I hope not.They have been hard to find recently and I came across a store that a pretty good supply of them but no other BP accouterments. So I bought 2300 and 2400 #10's and #11's. Should last me awhile as I shoot mostly flint.
 
What do you expect? BATF and Homeland Security has dried up the black powder source supply, and now caps are being priced beyond reason.
10 cents a cap, REALLY
I am not an alarmist or a prepper, just a tired old shooter that is tired of getting it shoved up my butt.
Here in Canada, black powder is priced at $40 a can, and smokeless is just as expensive, and harder to find.
Good thing I still have a sling shot, but I'm sure they ( Govt. ) will find a way of restricting supply or taxing rocks.
My rant for the day!

Hope your wrong but only time will tell, they are building a large manufacturing plant here in North Alabama for 1200 to 1800 employees.
 
Thanks everyone for your responses, I'm going to buy a bunch just in case, I'm so sick of all this anti gun manure I can't see straight, and it does seem that all the biggies Win. Colt, Rem. ect. are just out for the money and screw their customers, I wonder when and if it will end?
