Musket caps

[cryfowl]

So it's been a while since I've shot a muzzleloader.  Last one I owned took #11 caps, that was 15 years ago.  I went out and bought a CVA optima and picked up two packs of #11 caps.  Much to my surprise, they won't fit my gun.  Musket caps only.  So, where do you find Musket caps?  I've been to every gun shop in my area and no one carries them.  I really have no desire to order 1,000 caps.  Just looking for 100-200.  Seems like a lot of people say the RWS 1081 is the way to go, so that's what I'm looking for.  Any in the Oly area?

Sunbirds in Chehalis normally has them.

Thank you!

You can buy them almost anywhere, I have only shot musket caps.

I live in South King county.

Sportsman's Warehouse and Sportco both carry them.

Anywhere, except in the Olympia area, since Cabelas is the only option.

I get mine at Sportsmans Warehouse in Puyallup.

Made the run to sunbirds and they don't carry them anymore.  Any oly options?  Cabelas was a negative as well.

I was thinking about changing the nipple out to #11 since they're easier to find. Haven't really put much effort into it, as I did buy two packs of musket caps at muzzleloader supply.

Optima doesn't allow the option of just changing the nipple.

Muzzleloader supply on river rd always has everything.

Dang, they always had them when I was in there. I need to find some as well.

Yes they usually do.  They carry everything it seems, and usually have what I need in stock.

One of the problems you guys might be experiencing with Musket Cap availability is the companies are going back to producing re-enactment musket caps that do not have the charge that they use to have.  Because of that they are not as popular as they once were.The foreign caps like Schuetzen & the German RWS 1081's remain full power but are more expensive.



You can see they are clearly marked for reenactment

These are the older caps - not designated reenactment

Joes in lewis County mall use to have them , might check there.

He has musket caps because he goes around the local stores (sportco, sportsmans) and buys all they have then sells them at a higher price.
