I too was having a heck of a time finding both #10's and #11's, recently I just happened to find both, in each case from friends. I hope the drought dosen't last, unfortunately I suspect it will. Dave951 I'm going to take your advice and try blackpowderva.com
Really? Dang, I’m glad I don’t shop there... we have really very few sporting goods stores around here. Too rural. I’m ok with that.
Hey Kid... I shoot most days even if it’s only a round or two and a cylinder full on the pistols. I still have four tins of the 11’s. I’ve been using them for about half the time on pistols and saving the 10’s for serious work... thanks for checking in!
Remember when Arnold Schwarzenegger was looking at all the guns at the gun shop in the movie Terminator? I just happened to recently walk through the sporting goods section of my local Walmart and noticed a small selection of black powder stuff was just put on the shelf for the upcoming hunting season. An entire box of CCI #11 caps was sitting there. I took the whole box to the counter and the cashier asked how many I wanted and I blandly said “All.” It was awesome!
Anyone have an update about what’s going on with the Remington Caps? Still can’t find them anywhere.
What do you guys find to be the second best caps after the Remington #10s?
Lemat, Walker, twin Uberti SS 1858s, 1858 Carbine, Pedersoli Howdah, and (soon to be) Pedersoli 1858 Target owner here. I’ve never used anything but Remington #10s...

CCI caps from local Wally World when the idjits have them out, seems like some conehead manager feels that percussion caps are a seasonal item, like those of us who use them only shoot at a certain time of year only! Jeez, don't get me started.

Where do you live, are there any Cabela's, Bass Pro or other shooting sports chain stores in your area?
Have you tried to order caps through a local gun shop?
Where did you buy caps in the past?
CCI #11's need to be squeezed to stay on revolver nipples but fit virtually everything.
RWS 1075 Plus are magnum caps that fit on many guns but may be tight on some.
Remington #11 are similar to Remington #10 but may fit slightly looser because they're slightly shorter.
Stay away from CCI #10's because they're too tight on nearly everything.
Magnum caps may fragment more on revolvers.
If a cap is larger it can be squeezed a little bit and it will usually always stay on the nipple.
There are also ways to resize an #11 cap to make it fit like a #10, which may work better with CCI's.
No. https://www.startribune.com/federal...-4m-for-unit-of-bankrupt-remington/572563502/I have lots of caps on hand, CCI and Remington #11s but they fall off the nipples of my new 1858. So I ordered new nipples from TOW in stainless steel that are sized for #11 caps. I talked to TOW on friday and they said my nipples will ship on monday the 22nd. I had another Pietta 1858 back in the late 1990s and used CCI #11 caps on it. I had to slightly pinch them to make them fit but as far as I can remember I never ever had a mis-fire with that gun.
I am wondering since Remington has closed its doors how much longer will Remington caps be available or will someone else continue to make them? I have shot them along side of my CCI caps on my rifles and never noticed any real difference in how they worked.
