#11 Cap prices?

[Dave Young]

What is considered a good price per 1000 percussion caps and the best place to buy them? At Friendship in the spring, I believe the cheapest I saw was $44.00 per 1000, but I didn't know if that was a good price or not.

Our club sells them for $3.50 per tin but they don't mean to make money and our prices are cheaper than other places.

It was. I paid $44/1000 there last year for CCI's. RWS caps were about $58/1000. In gun shops around here the small caps are going for anywhere from $5.75 to $7.50 per tin. I'd like to find a case for $44 myself.

the log cabin gun shop in lodi is charging 8.95 for a tin of dynamite nobel (spelling?) caps.

The local Sportsmans Warehouse has RWS No. 11s for $6.99 and RWS muskets for $8.99. Even at those prices, I am glad to have them as they are my favorite caps.

 

[Tumblernotch]

From what I've seen lately, those prices are probably pretty good. I prefer RWS, but when I was shopping @ Friendship last year I had a limited amount of money so I had to go cheaper so I could get some other things. CCI's are good caps though.

I just came from Bass Pro Shops and they were $6.49 for a 100 count tin of them. Our local Wal-Mart has them for 5.99. Anyone bought them by the 1000 count case lately?

I was at Friendship in June and bought 2000 Remington#10 caps for my wheelguns for $94.00 from the Log Cabin Shop.

That's not bad. Sure not the $1.00 a tin we used to pay, but better than what I've been seeing.

Bought some CCI #11s for $4.99 per 100 last week at what used to be Sportsmans. Would have been a tad under $50 for the whole 1000.

I recently picked up 1000 #11 caps for $49.99 at Cabelas They do charge a $20 hazardous transport fee tho. It wasn't so bad since I was buying powder too.
