Where can I buy #11 Magnum Percussion Caps? Went online but they were Chinese scams. Fortunately I didn't bite.

Back road mom & pop shops have yielded more tins than I can use. Take a drive and visit the little guys.
Yesterday on Gunbroker a Tin of 100 CCI Magnum's went for $58 + $20 shipping. I agree with Ames and look locally!
Good Luck!

I’ve been stopping at every mom and pop I can find. Found one tin of CCIs recently for $5.
Likewise I'd spot your a couple of tins if I could ship them. Good luck in your search.

Where are you located
Where do you live?
First, go online to 22reloader (google it), buy a cap maker, and a couple packages of priming compound. Learn how to make caps, and also take the advice of shopping locally with small stores, and maybe check with a local club.
I've got the homemade caps working great, about a year ago, then got lucky 9 months ago for about 1500 caps at a store that wasn't rationing. But I have the homemade to fall back on.
Good luck !

Must not need them very bad because you won’t post where you live so we can help you out
I'm in the midlands of South Carolina. Any help finding them around here would be greatly appreciated. As soon as my job stops working me so much and I can talk my wife into visiting local shops and not spending all my money I will try small shops. I'm knew to black powder and would rather buy some first but may spring for tool sooner or later. I saw a yt video of a guy made his own tool from hardwood. I may try that.
Northeast Firearms in Turner Maine has some, not cheap $15.00 but they have them.

Normal price for the Winchester #11 magnum caps around here is $14. $15 is a bargain these days if you can't find them elsewhere cheaper or pay $50 to $70 on GunBroker.

Lumberton, NC has a shop that has #11 magnum in stock. Do not know how far you live from there but let know and I will check again.
Some of the Academy Sports have had CCI #11 tins of 100 for $9.99 I believe (Matthews, NC and Greenville, NC). They also had Winchester (777) 209 primers, but I haven’t seen them in a while.
10-4, thank you for the info. I've noticed the big name stores online inventory info can be inaccurate sometimes for example when I was looking for my 1851 I checked Cabela's websites and one of their stores somewhat close had a 1851 listed in stock so I called but they actually had the 1858 revolver in stock and not 1851. So I'll usually call or go by big name stores but no luck for me finding caps. I believe it was muzzle-loaders website that has musket caps listed in stock if anyone's looking for those and then that had me researching musket caps to see if there's any way those could be used on revolver nipples. It worries me the 10 and 11 are so hard to find. And Ive read some things on the reasons why but just seems like they'd be easy to keep on the shelf and seems like there's a good market for them now.
