I found them in Escanaba Mi today ,bought 3 tins, left 6 on the rack. I have plenty already so no need to clean them out. Paid $5.62 ea , Dunham's had good supply at almost $12 a tin.
Don’t go to WallyWorld that often, but was there today and checked. The guy in front of me at the sporting goods counter said he wanted all the caps that were available and they rang him up. Then my old friend karma showed up. The customer’s plastic didn’t work for some reason. Told the clerk he had to go find his wife and get the checkbook. The clerk asked what I wanted and I pointed at the caps, and she said how many? I asked about the previous customer, and she told me he buys stuff all the time to sell at gun shows and not to worry. I felt a little guilty as I paid for all ten packs, but that went away as I was leaving the counter and saw the other customer headed back with his checkbook in hand. I didn’t really need them today, but that’s 10 packs some scalper will not be selling. And they won’t go to waste.
I usually just hear about deals like this.

Glad you could buy them and not the other guy.
The ol' Wally World Scalper, they not only hit Walmart but any of the large retail stores selling sporting goods. A couple of guys at my club wre notorious for staking out stores then reselling scare product during the various shortages we've all experienced. Good for you, beating a scalper to the punch. I have a good store of caps, primers, .22 cartridges, black powder and such and I can say I'm proud of the fact I've never tried to scalp anyone. Scalpers are scum.
Buffalo Arms is a stand up company, I've been to their store several times when I visit friends in Northern Idaho, good people there!
This bears repeating...

I am making my own caps with the #10 & #11 & #1081 percussion cap maker kit, and I bet they are way better than Walmart caps. Most importantly, I am in control and always have musket caps on hand.

I just ordered RWS from Powder Valley. Thanks for the tip!!
I‘ve got an order from them enroute for deliver on Monday. I’ll report back, but several members have had much success with them, so I’m not worried.
22lrreloader dot com has the punches and a mixture kit called “Primeall”.
He bought them for a quarter of the price he’d have to give to the re-seller. That’s the difference.
how do you know he wont sell them for a high price? who would be dumb enough to pay 4 times as much at a gun show?

Our Walmart's are totally devoid of any kind of guns or ammo. I think it ironic they do still sell clay pigeons.
Believe what you want, but I didn’t buy to resell. I’m the fool that will give a tin or two away because my parents taught us to share. Maybe not the smartest strategy in today’s world.
Caps sold out at $20 a tin at a local gun show my brother in law and I were at last month. Seems they put out few and say they are last they have…. they then replace once the first group are sold. Some of the sellers are known to run to the local WallyWorld to stock on some ammo and products during show.
The ‘WallyWorld Scalper’ has told the clerks what he does. They said he also clears the shelves of certain ammunition when it comes in. There is nothing left for the next guy after these turds come through.

Me, too. Especially If I were to hear a parent/grandparent tell a youngin’, “sorry, but that’s all the caps we have, so no more shooting today.”
