I’m sure. I have a cousin who grew up near Minnehaha Falls. Our place names are sort of pedestrian by comparison. Seven Hermits, Molly’s Nipple, Pucker Pass, Suicide Mountain. Like that...We have lots of aboriginal names for places and animals. I'm too Aussie to even notice I spose!
Suppose Molly got around?We have a Molly's Nipple in Central Utah too. The official name is Musinea.
my wife and I are retiring next spring to an area between Ashton and Island Park, right off the Warm River. Will live out our lives there. I have no idea about hunting opportunities around there. I'm interested in deer, elk and bear. If you can provide me with any hints on where to start looking, I'd appreciate it. Shoot straight, friend.
@Idaholewis are these the ones you're saying are good? If so I might get some and end my cap woes for years to come.

Ended up not getting these, they were going to charge $70 for dangerous goods postage. $200 for 1000 caps started losing its value.
Ended up checking the local gunshops and bought 400 Remington ones. I know they aren't as good as the RWS, but it's what I can get.
That is really high priced! The RWS are 10 to 12 Dollars per 100 here, The CCi Magnum 11s are 4 to 5 Dollars per 100, I shoot more of the CCi Magnums than anything, They are Reliable, and don’t cost a Fortune. I have seen Remington Caps, But i have never used them
My Renegade didn't like musket caps. Lots of misfires and crushed caps. #11 caps consistently fire with 2f Swiss. With Pyrodex I had some problems so it's nothing but black powder in the side lock.
I don’t use anything but Remington. There was a time long ago that the priming pellet might fall out of one every few hundred but that was long ago. They’re very reliable and consistent for me.Ended up not getting these, they were going to charge $70 for dangerous goods postage. $200 for 1000 caps started losing its value.

Musket caps are much easier to get on and off as well I use them on my tk-2000I've always shot #11 caps on my T/C Renegade .50 with Goex Ffg black powder and conicals. Now I can't find #11 caps anywhere, but musket caps are easy to find and sell for about $9.00/100. I have a musket cap nipple. Is there any downside to shooting musket caps as opposed to #11s? Should I just try to ride out the storm and then stock up on #11s when they're available again?
Yes, those have been marketed that way for some time. They’re very good caps in my opinion at least 40% hotter than the old ones. I think...That's good to know, mine say 40% hotter. I'm assuming that's a good thing but hotter than what I don't know, maybe the old ones maybe a cold cup of coffee! I have 700 now so that will keep me occupied for a while.
Now just need to work on how to keep it functioning in rain and I'm all set.
