    Just saw these at Bass Pro. All my stuff is set up for #11’s, but for anyone in need of #10, here they are. Total of 6 tins on the rack

    #11 caps at Bass Pro

    Bass Pro has #11 CCI caps again. Just bought a bunch. Out here in CA they're running about $13 for a tin of 100. I had heard CCI was going to start making them again in June so I guess the stories are true.

    Hello from California

    Back in the ‘70’s I got a Jukar Kentucky pistol, and always enjoyed it. Just recently decided to get back into black powder with an 1858 Remington (Uberti) and 1848 Dragoon (black box,”Colt New York”, etc, which I think was probably made by Uberti for Colt). Fit, finish, and function are...
