Welcome Rocket from Mohave Valley, Arizona.

No. 11 caps? Yes, hard to find but they are out there. Try:

1. Northeast Reloading
2. Nachez
3. Others out there but my brain just went into lockdown

Josh Canuck - Another potential solution is to make your own Number 11 caps.

Prime-All Repriming Compound. Ingredients are all inert AND in tiny amounts.

They also offer a clever die for a single stage reloading press to punch out No. 11 caps from aluminum can strips. Use the primer compound to fill caps.

I have used this method with good results. However, it is a tedious process to make reliable No. 11 caps. Buying them is so much easier!

I ordered the #10 kit with primall
From Sharp Shooter. I am seeing #11s are available, but #10 are out of stock

Enjoy the process. Hope you find commercial caps.

Also, I tried children's caps (cap guns) and found caps made in Germany worked well. Other brands ... poor performance for me.
