Live in California and can not find any...anywhere. Found a couple sites, but they turned out to be bogus...one satellite search showed an empty lot next to an alley for the address. Any help is greatly appreciated, thank you.

He is right next door to Ft. Shannondoah, in Winchester Va. When the NSSA has a function, he will have a line that stretches for several hundred yards.
A vote for anyone other then the conservative candidates is a vote for the liberal candidates.
I checked Scheels, since they have everything else - the closest Scheels with #11s in stock is in freaking Colorado Springs!
Saw some for sale at a local gunshow last week end. 17 bucks a hundred.
Local Dunhams Sports has 20 or so tins. 100 per tin I think. Their website say's
$11.99 a hundred.
Haven't seen a cap for sale in Arizona for over 3 years.
Last time I bought any in AZ, it was at Thunderstick, I think, and it was $25 for 100.

My go-to black powder source has RWS caps in stock
I just make my own, the only place I look for caps is my reloading bench. The kit is affordable and it’s very simple to produce caps that work on my rifles and pistols.
If you hone the tip of a #11 nipple down a little bit you can use ring caps.Here they sell them in Dollar stores cheap. Little time consuming cutting them off ,but they will work.

Its pretty easy to make caps that work as well as commercial. There are several threads on how to make them. Here's one:

I had to do this during the first Obama Term when everything got hard to find. As soon as they became available again I bought 2k worth, and threw them in an ammo can. I only use them for my 32 cal Crockett rifle but it is my plinking and woods walking gun. As I use the caps I have replaced them, until the last 2-3 years where I haven’t found any, so I need to find some to replace what I have used. I want whichever one of my grandkids decide they like shooting the Holy Black when they get older to have a lifetime supply.

Tyrants use the force of the people to chain and subjugate-that is, enyoke the people. They then plough with them as men do with oxen yoked. Thus the spirit of liberty and innovation is reduced by bayonets, and principles are struck dumb by cannon shot: Albert Pike, Morals and Dogma
My brother picked some up for me at the Dunhams Sports in Fremont, NE. They were outrageously expensive $12. per hundred, but I am set for several years! I hope I can get my busy Grandson out shooting before our December muzzleloader season, here in Nebraska? hc18flyer
I am lucky.
I have about 600 factory primers.
I also make and use my own homemade primers caps.
Now the new thing I am going to try this week is, I am going to modify a few of my nipples so they fit the Plastic Toy gun caps.
I just happen to have lots of old and new nipples of three different thread sizes.
I have seen it on the net.
I am pretty sure that it will work well , and hopefully better than just using them for plinking.
So far all I can see that you have to do , Is put the nipple in a rod coupler of the same thread as the nipple.
Put the rod coupler in my drill motor.
Then file down the diameter of the nipple tip , so it will accept the plastic Toy Caps.
Many many years ago I use to use the toy caps to shoot homemade guns.
But back then , I did not reduce the nipple shank.
So the plastic cap fit on real tight and would sometimes not fire with the first strike of the hammer.
I will let you guys know how those Toy Caps work.
Those caps I can buy for about $2.00 for 70 caps.
Probably a lot less if you buy in bulk.
I bought those 600 factory caps over a 5 year period if I could find them.
Plus limits of only 200 primers are sold at a time when they are in stock.
Plus most primers that I did find were about $12.00 a hundred.
