Caps at Sportsman's Warehouse

[Doughty]

Went to the Missoula store today. Walked back to the muzzleloading section and about fell over when I saw CCI #11s hanging on the rack. Price was $5.99 a hundred. There were only 6 tins and I didn't take them all. Last time I saw caps for sale here was last November.

Two weeks ago my local sportsman’s warehouse had 20 on the shelf, also at $5.99. This is in Northern California. Today I stopped at my lgs and they had cva #11 primers. I’ve never seen them before. The tin is smaller than a cci tin and a brown color. I don’t know if they are new or new old stock but he had at least 5000 that were visible. They were $15.99 a tin, so I passed.

Wow...I'll have to go check next weekend when I have cash. Last time I saw caps they were $25 a tin of 100, magnums only, and one tine only.

I don't know if I would go for them at 6 cents apiece. I mean I am sure I would if I did not have any but I am going to wait and see what the new normal is going to be before I stock up again. I have enough of everything to last a few years but will want to stock up eventually.

I got 2 tins and wife got 2 tins, at Sportsman's Wearhouse tonight. First I've seen in a couple of years. $5.99 per. I was down to 25 caps with a new to me ROA just waiting to be shot. They had 1 can of 3F BP but did not need that but no 2F. Some 209's and CCI large rifle at $8.50/100 limit 2. No powder to speak of.

In the present climate anybody that leaves percussion caps on the shelf at 5.99 per 100 will proly regret that decision sooner than later.

And that exact attitude and action will keep this "shortage" going. Only buy what you need and leave some for the next guy and the problem will ease.

Went to the Missoula Scheels today. They had lots of CCI #11s....at 9.99 a tin. I didn't buy any.

I went to Sportsman's Warehouse today.
They did have #11 CCI primer caps.
$5.99 per 100.
I picked up 4 cans even though I don't need too many right now.

[Gobeyond]

60 bucks is good for a thousand shots!

Over at the Cabelas here they had some on the shelf by the Pyrodex and all the other BP substitutes. didn't ask the price. I still have some 10 or 15 years old to use up sometime.

I'm in NorCal, near Sac.
Have not see caps anywhere, I live just up the street from Sportsmans and Bass Pro.
Would order online but the shipping and hazmat are deal breakers.

The Rocklin store is where I found them.

im more concerned about me being able to shoot than wondering if you are. sounds like a socialist way of thinking.ill buy what i want,when i want and as much as i want and nobody has a right to say otherwise.

I'm all for buying what ever you need.
The only thing that ticks me off is the guy that goes in to buy it all just to flip it.
Thus intentionally screwing over fellow shooters.

Just got back from Reno.
Cabelas wanted $13.99 a tin for CCI #11 magnums.
Sportsmans warehouse has them listed at $5.99
They matched the price and I was able to get 3 tins :mrgreen:
Then bought a pound of Triple 7 fff from Scheels.

My LGS has a pretty good supply of CCI #11 and musket caps. I have a Traditions Pursuit XLT that uses primers and I like it very much. I'm thinking about buying the Northwest version of the rifle that uses musket caps so I'm not totally dependent on endangered species 209 primers.

Sportsman warehouse in Washington, Pa has big rack full of CCI #10 caps for $5.99 /100 no limit

[CastingFool]

I live about 15 miles from the kalamazoo sportsman warehouse. Just for gliggles, I checked their stock. 100/5.99 as mentioned by others. Not available. Nearest store to me with stock is in Iowa, a mere 461 miles away. Lol

[elk hunter]

I'm still shooting Remington #11's that I paid $5.99 per thousand for forty years ago but, they're still good. Figuring todays wages against what I was making forty years ago I guess $5.99 per hundred isn't so bad. If I'm careful, no more than I shoot these days, I'll never run out. What I am short of are good flints. Guess I'll have to bite the bullet and order some.

[bigted]

The irritation to me is those that buy at regular price and jack it up to be three or four times the regular price. These folks should be avoided at all cost in my opinion. Nothing but greed involved there. $150 plus an exorbitant shipping cost of between 40 and 60 dollars per order is just rubbish.

For all these folks that are taking advantage ... all I have to say is ... I just hope I live long enough to see karma visit them.

Went to the Scheel's store in Missoula. They were loaded with #11 caps; hundreds of tins @ 10 cents a cap. I didn't buy any.

Ran into something like that at a local shop when I couldn't find squat, and found a tin of #11 Magnums for $25 a tin. I bought one, because I had nothing. Last time I bought them was $10 a tin, ad it almost seemed like a bargain.

[freakonaleash]

Last time I bought caps they were $3.50 a tin.
