I just bought my dad an Uberti 1860 Army for his birthday and of course he wants to go shoot it. I've been looking to get all the necessary supplies and was wondering if there's any online stores that carry EVERYTHING I need?

Looking at local shops, they'll have powders and balls but won't have caps. Might have caps but won't have wads or powders. Same online. It's just hassle and I really don't feel like ordering from a dozen different places especially with hazmat fees and shipping charges.

Is there a site that carries powder (prefer real black of course but would settle for 777 or other substitutes if I must) caps, balls, wads, lubes, measures and whatnot all in one place? I figure there should be atleast one place that specializes in muzzleloading.
 
Track of the wolf. Dixie Gun Works. Cabela's.

Any of those places will meet your needs. Track of the wolf probably being the best source for you BP supplies
 
I get all my Black Powder stuff from Midway, the only thing they don`t have is (Black Powder)............They do have 777 !.........
 
I'm not aware of anyone who has caps in stock. Anything else can be had though.
 
Grafs.com has a good selection of real BP, unfortunately they are out of caps.
I've been ordering from them for years, always great service and pricing

Take care

Don't forget Ebay, they have quite a lot of used b/p stuff for a lot less than new, if they don't go bid crazy. All of my flasks came from them, and the parts to make my powder horns came from there also. I have a dedicated flask or horn for each of my guns so it's just right for best shooting for that particular gun, just the way I do it.
 
Thanks for the suggestions guys. I've looked over all of them. Though some were the ones I mentioned as having one thing but not the other.

Grafs looks good. Carries everything you need. Though the caps are out of stock. Guess i will just have to piece all the stuff together from different places.

Edit; BTW, why are all the caps out of stock? I know there's an ammo shortage going on. But I figured muzzle loaders wouldn't be popular enough to be affected and it's not like you can use ML caps to reload regular ammo.

Good Luck

My LGS has plenty of #10 and #11 caps. Guess I should go by tomorrow and pick up some more.

Had a guy ship me a tin several years ago without the hazmat fee. Don't believe I would try it though. It's unfortunate the fee is so high or I would just send you a tin or two so you can get to shooting.
 
Figure I'll give powder Inc. a try. They have caps and powder. The rest I can generally get at Cabellas on the way to the range.
 
Traveling from RI to Florida, stopped at the Cabelas in Harrisburg Pa. That's kinda on my way to the range as I shoot in Florida also. IN RI there is the Bullseye Gun Store in Woonsocket, he has a full range of BP stuff, that shop is the house of a million items.
