Wouldn’t it be cool if someone could come up with a workable flintlock revolver.

Percussion caps

I remember seeing that video. If I remember correctly they weren’t very successful.
I do like to shoot my percussion pistols (mostly) and have enough caps to last me for a while, however what I do have is enough flints to last me a lifetime and about 30 feet of match cord, it might be slower but it's still accurate!!
oops
I bought 10 tins of Rem no. 11s a couple years ago for $6.95 each. Didn't want that many, but that was min order. I still have about 700 left. Glad I did now, I am fixed for a loooong time.
Only thing that bothered me was their SSL Certificate was a little flaky, but I decided to give it a go so we'll see. If it pans out it just goes to show that the Hazmat fee is a gimmick to separate you from your coin and probably not necessary!I just bought CCI #11 caps from KY Gun Co. $10.99 a can and no hazmat fee.

They're legit! Just got my order from them yesterday and placed a second one. Just the caps not the other stuff.

I just shoot and have fun, worrying about cost is senseless . Everything costs money. I just took my girlfriend to shoot "unmentionable " rifles and the ammo bill was nearly $200 , because I didn't want to dip into my supply and I bought new ammo 
if I have to eat Ramen for a week oh well
I'm never going to be like the guy I just saw at my gun club that drives out to the 100 yard line, posts a target, drives back, sets up his Hubble spotting scope and has a bolt action rifle. Proceeds to fire exactly 3 rounds, one every 10 minutes or so then packs up and leaves. I'd rather just find something else to do at that point if I couldn't afford to have a decent day of shooting
Life is too short
That said, Midway has a clearance on .454 round balls at 6 bucks per 100 so I bought 1000 balls. I should be good for 6 months of shooting with my Walkers now

I bought the cap maker a year or two ago. I don't even want to use commercial caps anymore. The homemade stuff is more reliable, hotter & fun to make. Plus, when my buddies talk about all their premium gear, I like to tell them that I actually stamped my caps from a beer can.
Personally, I find one of the best thing about muzzleloading is the ability to be more self-reliant for practice and hunting. Cap shortages just get me deeper and deeper into this hobby.
