What I found at Cabella’s

The prices are like that here too (NW CA). I feel scalped, gouged and basically screwed around. At least we're all in good company.

Just found Winchester magnum caps at the Cal ranch in Sorry Vista, 8 bucks a 100.

"Bet the cap making dies are flying out the door."

Do you mean real drawing dies or just the capmaker ones. It would be some doing to make a drawing die set but that'd be the way to do it so they don't look like a scrunched up soda can. (Not knocking, like I said, better than nothing.)
I wonder if the inside of the drawing die has serrations in it to make the tiny serrations on the caps.

Been looking so long here local I gave up. The Remington 10s do the best in my guns, or so I thought until I took my business to CCI and haven’t looked back since.

I meant the sharpshooter 22 ones. They work, they are very simple, and it isn't hard to get enough usable caps for a range session. I would not turn my nose up at competition and innovation, mind you, since I don't know how long it will take for shortages to subside. Years?

Good grief for that price I don't blame you for leaving them. That's why they have them, price gouging at it's finest.

I’ll stick with shooting my Cva Electra- and keeping my modest stockpile stocked up.

Aside from wanting some rem 10s, this is academic for me. When I realized things were about to get tight I bought "a bunch" of caps. Had already bought and tested the cap maker by then.

"I would not turn my nose up at competition and innovation,"

I'm not turning up my nose, just exercising my laziness, plus I have quite a few caps left. I would like to make a die set that make cap hulls that equal commercial caps though, and wish there were a video of them being made. I'd probably still be too lazy to put cap centers in them though.

I don't really shoot black powder enough to worry too much, have plenty of powder and caps for now, even gave away a pound of OE when a friend ran out. I would like to try the cap making thing sometime, just for grins. A few hundred caps are going to last me quite a while, might never even get to that lonely pound of Pyrodex P I somehow acquired. However, it is really good to see them out in the wild again, good sign for the times, I hope and pray.

I found this S&W 696 no dash at Cabelas….. few years ago.
A employee told me about it, Said it had been on “Layaway” for another employee for a long time with no money down.

I called that store had it shipped to my local Cabelas… the woman who answered the gun library was pissed- as I shouldn’t have found out about it.

Somedays you get fortunate.
