Where to find #11 caps?

That was my local shore as a ship to. There aren't any in stock locally, they will ship to my store but still charges the hazmat.

Maybe try 4 in your cart? BP does free shipping over $50.

I ordered a sleeve the other day and shipped free to store with no hazmat fee...

Thanks for the link, was hoping to find something local.

Continue to check with Academy and Cabellas/Basspro. When they re stock them they either have them on line that can be sent to the store near you saving the shipping and hazmat fees or they have them at the store. One needs to be proactive to get them. Some Walmarts carry them too.

Haven't been able to find any #11 caps near me in a while. Anyone know of a source in the central Iowa area?

Thanks, Matt.

I see them at my local Durham store in Sterling IL @ $11.00 a tin

I have been having the same issue, also got ripped off by a fake web site that sells shooting supplies. I emailed CCI to ask why it is so hard to find caps. They said they are producing millions on a daily basis and shipping out to retailers. I think they a lying.
See their response.

Aaron,

We are currently producing and shipping millions of primers and caps a day. With the current market we are in it is very difficult for distributors and dealers to keep them on the shelves. Our products are sent directly from the plant to distributors. Where it is then sold to retailers and then to you. We have no way of tracking who has it or when they will receive it in stock.

Thanks,

According to the Youtube channel GodFamilyandGuns, the U.S. government is buying up the primers and ammo. I suspect one reason is to reduce supplies to civilians. The same thing happened when Obama was President.

Don’t doubt it and sounds like something the libs want.
I just bought small pistol primers from Academy for $8 per 100, in stock. Graf had no hazmat on the large pistol primers too. They pop up now and then.

These are the good old days. I think all this stuff will be extremely hard to find soon and possibly for a very long time.

Have you tried Cabela's? If there is a store near you, you can order them on line and pick up at the store. I just bought 400 caps and picked them up today, no shipping costs and NO HAZMAT FEE. I like to buy from smaller local stores but... I also like to be able to shoot! I refuse to pay $16 for caps + shipping + $24 for the Hazmat fee. Good luck!

I stopped using #10 or #11 caps from the major manufacturers a long time ago, at least 15 years. I got tired of trying to find them and having problems with the fit. I found that the RWS 1075 caps will fit the rifle #11 and pistol #10 cones just fine and have never had a misfire with them as I had with Winchester, CCI, Remington and several others. I buy them from vendors like Flint Locks LLC and others, who come to our semi annual muzzleshoots, in 1000 cap sleeves. Haven't had to do the infamous cap hunt since. I also buy my musket caps that way.

 

[07Kingpin]

Well I got lucky, a friend was headed out of town and was kind enough to pick some up for me.
May try a muzzle cap nipple and see how it shoots as they are so much easier to find.
Thanks again for all the good tips.

I know a place in southern MN that has them in stock but I know for a fact they won't mail them. DM me for the contact if interested.

Quit buying and make your own.

Use acetone diluted single base smokeless powder as your binder or acetone diluted Duco cement. Plenty of threads on here on how to make your own. I've said it dozens of times now, I'll say it again, I don't care how cheap caps get, I WILL NEVER BUY CAPS AGAIN!

Mine is in the mail headed my way! If you have any good threads I need to read, I'd appreciate a link!
