If Stacey doesn’t Shave, He will grow a REAL Long Beard for that mission

He'll go nuts trying to fabricate thousands of little anvils to fit in cartridge case flash holes!!

You'd think that for the shipping/hazmat fees these retailers are charging, they could at least include some free "bullet" lube...

Over the weekend, I ordered a thousand CCI # 11 magnum caps from Basspro. 54.00, free shipping but paid $ 20.00 hazmat fee.

Thats not bad. Guys on GB are selling (trying to) with $50 shipping and 3% cc fees on top of $225 buy it now price for a 1k primers that normally go $45-$50 off the shelf. I can go 2 years with out shooting or reloading at those prices.

I found those German caps on a muzzleloader site. They were 70 dollars for 1000. Didn't order them.

Powder Valley just put this up on their FB page.

@Idaholewis, @jcnull2305 maybe I could figure out a way to cut the little circles out of the rolled paper caps and put them into spent primers....My fingers would probably get blisters from the scissors though.

That's outrageous!
Where on earth did you buy it? Most online stores have minimums of at least 4 or 5 lbs per purchase.

Yessir I thought so too. Hard pill to swallow there.

I just got a messg from a guy in the FB ML group (he's getting essentials for when his Paramount gets delivered ) he asked what primers to buy. I replied CCI BR-2 they should cost 5.00 per 100 ( thats what I paid early this yr at Bass Pro) He shows me a pic of the only place he said he could find them & they are 12.99 pre 100......... I had no words...

Heck for what I paid, I want a stripper delivering it.

The little old gun shop 9 miles away from me has GOEX for 28 bucks after tax and $6.49 a hundred for # 11 caps. One of them were magnums so I bought 2 tins. I could have bought more , but I have about 800 and that should get me through a yr. I figure there is a guy out there that would love to get them for $6.49 plus tax . Someone just like us.

Bass Pro will not provide that service... I asked for a friend.

They actually had some # 10's there . I know for sure cause I almost bought some by accident. The gun shop is in Lomira, Wisconsin. It is Bills gun shop.

With the free shipping code, find at least $49 worth of other eligible stuff and they don't charge for regular shipping, just the hazmat which is $12. At least it worked for me.
RWS 1075 Plus Percussion Caps #11 Box of 2500 (10 Cans of 250)

I was down to only ~800 percussion caps, and I have been searching the big box stores (Walmart, Academy, Bass Pro, Cabelas, Scheels) around me for weeks to replenish. This morning I fortuitously stumbled onto a small local gun shop which actually had cases in stock! I only purchased 4000 (mix of CCI #10 and #11, and Remington #11) so there are plenty remaining for others...

How much per 100?

 

[hrt4me]

How much per 100?

$5.99 per tin of 100

but now I rrealize I cannot recommend the shop because unfortunately the proprietor overcharged me $25 on the overall purchase

 

[Bad Karma]

Still, even with the surcharge... where was this again?

The Outlaw Kid on the high road has a method for you... he’s a clever lad, makes his own powder and caps. Thusfar I’m not going there, I’ve always been lucky, buy extra when I buy anything, (at least as far as supplies are concerned) I’m set for a good long time.

I don't have a muzzleloader that uses 209's but I've been reloading shoot gun shells for about 40 years. I've always used Winchester Western 209's. Found them to be more reliable than CCI's.
