I also bought caps, musket caps, and BP from Graf & Sons a month or two ago. I have seen ads for #11s, Pyrodex/777, etc. at Cabelas/Bass Pro and Academy Sports, but have not seen the genuine article on the shelf or available in store.

Checked Graf and Sons. Caps are out of stock as of today 8/11/2021
Dang! Sorry about that…
Nice going! That's why the shortages continue.
My local Academy sports had #11 caps yesterday for 5.99 per hundred in a tin.
Still scarce here online for sure.
22 Sharp Shooter sells a tool for making #11 caps from aluminum soda cans. The primers chemical sold separately

I was just up there at Dixon’s talking with Greg and his wife, they did not have any caps and his wife was saying that Remington may not be making them for another two years but take that for what it’s worth because I found them at Cabelas a week and a half ago in the hamburge pa. Store. But I don’t know if it was old stock from Remington or not.who knows in these crazy times that’s why I say if you see what you need buy some not all save a little for the other guy but get what you need.
Probably because I bought 750 of them.
They are being produced and distributed, prices should be normal by now. I bought 5,000 CCI #11s from Bosley's Guns & Ammo in Ft Ashby, WV for $5.99 per tin which is less than what they go for at big box stores. That was 10 days ago. I did also ordered 500 RWS 1075 and 500 RWS 1075PLUS along 36 pounds of different black powders from Grafs and they had everything in stock, from Grafs 1F to Swiss Null-B. Prices for caps were around $8 a tin ($20 per 250).Powder prices were between $17 and $29 per pound depending on brand. They said they were way behind on shipping but i got my stuff in five days or so. Don't think i am hoarding, i normally will shoot about 500 RB's a month plus REAL's, Maxis, minies and who knows how many pounds of shot out of ML shoguns! Is nice to have only ONE vice!

I got 500 in boxes of 100 in a little known shop down where my brother lives, but I paid through the nose for them. I have a standing backorder for a couple of thousand online they are supposed to notify me when percussion caps go off the endangered species list. These will last till then. If this is not the most ridiculous state of affairs--no black powder in the stores, no caps, soon to be no lead shot. Somebody saw us smiling and enjoying ourselves and went to work on it.
In Australia where paying from $13 to $15 a Tin or by the 1000 around $120 for RWS Caps
The way they are about firearms down under, I'm surprised they are allowed to have any. After all, look what Ned Kelly and his group did with cap and ball revolvers.
