Got #11 caps?

I just got off the phone with KYGUNCO, they just got in a pallet of CCI#11's. I've been looking for a while trying to find some, and I figure some of you might have too Thanks to all here who tipped me off about them, I wouldn't have known they existed. Now I can finally burn some powder

Thx for posting I just ordered 1000

Here's the link for anyone looking. After seeing the price I am so glad I stocked up a long time ago. I still have 8,000 on hand now.

all my local stores are well stocked with #11 percussion caps

Calebas and Bass Pro have Remington #11s for $13.99

better prices for both CCI and Remington at Scheels:

Not really. Just glad I stocked up a long time ago. I learned to keep stock way back in 1996 when the rumor went around that primers were going to be made that only had a 6 month shelf life. Primers went from $10 a thousand to $26 a thousand overnight and that was only if you could find them. I said never again would I ever be caught short on supplies. And I haven't.

I have lead, bullet molds, cases, powder both smokeless and real black plus all the other things that go with making my own ammo. Shortages and runs on ammo have no affect on me. I thought that was the whole point of being able to reload? Or in this case shoot muzzle loaders. Without ammo and ammo making supplies a gun is just a fancy stick. I have had my caps long enough that I don't think I paid over $3 for a single can of them. Most were bought when they were $10 a thousand. Paying $11 for 100 caps would be hard for me to do. If it came down to that I would probably sell my currant guns and just buy a flint lock and get serious about making my own flints.

They don't seem to go bad. I didn't shoot BP for at least 10 years and my shooting pouch was stored in the attic with a capper full of caps. In the Texas the heat in my attic gets well over 100 degrees. When I shot for the first time in a very long time I used those caps in the capper first. Everyone of them fired perfectly after being left in the attic in the heat and the winter cold. So I never had a problem with buying in large quantities.

I've heard that caps are coming back to stores elsewhere. As of yet I've not seen them in any stores i've recent visited in piedmont of north carolina.

14.00 a 100 for caps IMHO is a rip. It wasnt that long ago you could buy them for 6.99 and 7.99 at Scheels. Prices have doubled in a little over a year. I have a stash and wont buy any until I absolutely have run out of what I have at those inflated prices. Cabelas and Bass Pro can eat them as far as I am concerned.

This applies to those who live in Virginia. I was in Green Top Sporting Goods on Thursday, and they had a well-stocked muzzleloading section. I don't think they ever sold black powder, but I saw Pyrodex P and RS, along with Triple 7. Plenty of percussion caps, round balls of just about every caliber and .50 caliber Great Plains Bullets. A full line of all accessories as well.

Last year I bought a sleeve of 2000 RWS caps from Back Creek. Along with the CCI caps that I already had, I have enough to last for the rest of my life.

Yep, KYGUNCO is well known to the Better Business Bureau.

Interesting reading… the company seems kinda slap-dash in their habits. But some of their customers are even worse… glad I’m not in that business.

Right now I have zero caps.
Only ones I found local, the guy wanted $15 a tin and they were very old.
Looks like I'll be using some
Small Pistol Primers .

Order some mine were here in 4 days Kentucky Gun did me wright

Just bought a couple tins at my local academy sports. They are well stocked.

Find a Sportsmans Warehouse and you'll most likely find caps at $5.99 a can. But they won't last forever.

Closest one to me that has stock is 110 miles away in Reno.
Which I am going there but not until next week.

I am very fortunate to be well stocked.
