I've bought multiple times over the past few weeks from Cabelas/BassPro with no limit. Availability pops up every few days and you can ship to store without shipping or hazmat costs if you are near one.
 
Just bought 1000 cci caps from cabelas received them today. First 8 out of the tin did not fire. I tried 3 different guns. Now I’m trying to figure out how to get my money back cabelas won’t take them because they fall under the ammo no returns policy. So now I have a call into CCI.
Attached pictures of caps and the gunk they left around the nipples.

It appears that you have caps that were exposed to moisture some where along the line. Really a bad situation since caps are considered "nonreturnable"
 
Found these at the Bouckville NY antique show tried one from each tin no pop and very low power ignition they were $2 each

Picked up a few at our local Sportsman's store. Nice to see them in stock again. Had been making them with the 22lrreloader kit, but 'store bought' is sure easy.
 
Sportsman's warehouse has #11 percussion caps. You can only purchase 1 tin at a time, but you can make multiple orders and have them shipped to your local store. Online they are $5.99/per tin of 100.
Just checked, out of stock in Charleston, SC and not shippable to my address. And this store stocks the RWS and “out of stock” $11.99 c /100
 
I have heard nothing but complaints lately about CCI, my thought is that maybe the stuff they are putting out now could maybe old stock that's been sitting around to long.
I buy Remington #10's or 11's whenever I can find them. But also have been picking up musket caps.. because I just bought a musket nipple for my 50. Cal
 
Got a hold off CCI sounds like they are going to work with me
Doesn't surprise me at all.....

Vista Outdoors owns CCI and many other familiar companies and I've dealt with "RCBS" a couple times over reloading equipment and they have always went above and beyond the call of duty to make sure I remained a happy customer.
