    Plenty of #10 around. Might be worth buying a #10 nipple.

    WHERE? I've not been able to find ANY percussion caps anywhere. None on-line, and when I ask at a gun store I just get laughed at.

    Madway had them a couple weeks ago if they are all gone sign up to be notified when they come in I think I've still got a couple thousand. But be warned they are a little pricey.
    good luck

    I'm not sure I've been in a store yet that hasn't had them. Once in a while I've seen #11's. Not a lot mind you, and very expensive, but they are there. Sodak sports, Runnings, and Walmart in Aberdeen, SD all have #10 or #11 percussion caps. Runnings in Watertown, SD had them a few weeks ago. It's been a couple of months, but the Fleet Farm in Alexandria, MN had #10's.

    Lots of #10's around here, pretty much any store I've been into has had them.

    Sportsman Warehouse has them from time to time. I think I paid $4.00 a hundred limit 200 but wife got 200 too. When you are out and have a new to you Ruger old Army you want to shoot then the price was right.

    There is a shop about 35-40 miles south of me that pretty much always has them when I visit.
    I think I have 7 to 800 in the cabinet right about my primer stash.
    I bought a few hundred last Fall at the WW for less than $6 a 100.

    I've been looking for #10's for over a year, nada. I need them for my revolvers. #11's and musket, I've got enough to last me from now on as I just don't shoot as much as I did in the past.

    I've got a 1000 box of CCI #11 mags in a little nook that nobody can find. I'm only actually using the ones I have left over in the shop, which should last a year or two. Aside from that, shooting flint more and more until anything ever changes. I even began contemplating a matchlock build, and the more I look into it, the more I like it.

    Factory caps are better.
    But it don't matter if you can't find them.
    Or Afford them
    That is the same kind of cap maker that I use.

    Don't care anymore. Only thing I'm not making is brass and that's only because Starline hasn't yet been sold off, so they're still both reasonable and actually fulfilling orders with real product rather than excuses.

    I wonder for a match lock if some sort of electric igniter could be use.

    I made a pistol that used model rocket rocket engine ignitors.
    It worked.
    But there was a small delay from when you pulled the trigger switch , and the ignitor went off.
    That was back when I was a kid.
    I could not find primer caps where I lived.
    But I might be able to build something better now a days.

    You some sort of high voltage capacity to fire it. Remington at one time did have electrical primers of some sort.

    Last time I used an electric primer was in an M60A1 Tank main 105mm gun. Of course; they had back up systems for when the primary electronic ignition failed.

    I have been making caps using the Prime All Mixture from 22LR Sharpshooter using their Cap Maker Punch (unable to locate my original Tap-O-Cap two years ago caused me to buy their cap die). I have had excellent ignition using the Prime All Mixture and other Primer Mixtures in my .50 Hawken, https://sharpshooter-22lr-reloader.m...sion-cap-maker

    Eventually I may have to buy that sort of tool and also a lot of the components needed to make the priming compound. I am sure that within a year that caps will be more available since now primers are dropping. But this business of political cycles making ammo and components disappear is getting old and having a source of at least percussion caps is desirable.
