hardly needed the TP…which, given the postage stamp sized piece is probably all by design!
I think when working for A&P back then it was $1.15/hr.??? I do remember when it went to $1.25 thought we were rich...
OK, so you worked for about an hour for the box of caps. Caps are cheaper now.

In the early '80's a friend and I used to go to the Log Cabin Shop after work on Saturday (overtime) to do some shooting. We went almost every Saturday. I remember caps were the least costly, then powder and finally roundball, which cost the most. These days caps cost a lot more, along with powder but roundball not so much.
We tried using used tire weights but ruined the molds since the tire weights were not pure lead...lesson learned.

How did wheel weight lead ruin your molds? I use alloys similar to that and I’d hate to ruin a mold.

Ky Gun Company is saying they have #11 caps. They are in Bardstown and Louisville Ky
$10.99 a can
$10.99 a can
We've used wheel weights when they're available....haven't had any problems.....yet.
Yep, several of us here have bought from them over the past two weeks. Also, flat rate shipping and no hazmat charge.
Hey Bad Karma, We couldn't get the molded stuff out of the molds, we beat the manure out of the molds which deformed them. Then someone who did the same thing told us about the alloy that was mixed in with the lead.
Read the one from mustang 65 how he didn't have any problems??? Don't have a clue now with us it was in the late 60's.

I visited my local Walmart store, I check to see if they have #11 caps every time I go. They never have any. Yesterday when I was there, I noted they have them on clearance… funny, if they never have them, why clearance… lol
Please answer your own question.

It was more rhetorical than anything else.. I will see how long it is before they remove the label for the space..
Funny you guys mentioned Walmart...the ones down here have plenty of pellets for inline and maxie balls all sorts of other accessories but no caps.

I've had enough of this cr**. I now make my own, in small batches mind you..and very good stuff. As for Joementia, I'd actually want there to be some suffering
It's okay to say "manure".
Ordered some a week ago tracking says they will be here today, Yahooo
