    Dropped into a local gun store here and they had a couple of tins of CCI #11caps on the shelf so I picked them up. If you guys have shortages their then we are way down the supply list here. Also picked up 20 cards of Star cap gun caps (1440 caps) for $20nz to add to the supply as all my percussion guns work fine with the toy caps and homemade powder. Have 75kg of Potassium Nitrate so that should last a while. Just bought a T/C Hawken 50 percussion and fortunately it loves 80grain homemade powder a olive oil lubed Ticking patch and toy cap to set it off. The boys at the club couldn`t believe how well it was shooting when they are all worried about finding primers.

    Went and checked Wally world here for the weekly post season mark down check. They had seven tins of CCI #11's at $4.99 a tin normal price still, but they went home with me anyway.

    A local small outdoor shop here had about 10 tins of #11 caps.
    Aim small, miss small!

    I am always in need of another cap and ball so I check EMF and Cabelas everyday mostly. EMF has been short of everything for a very long time. Kind of discouraging when you think Pietta must be hammered pretty good with Covid since they own EMF.

    I think that EMF is stocking their dealers so as to not undercut their price.
    Dixie recently received shipments of both Pietta and Uberti.
    Sometimes EMF has guns in stock in their store that they don't list in their website.
    I would suggest to call them so can put you on a waiting list.
    Or if you want a specific model sooner then maybe someone can help you find it elsewhere.
