Title: Muzzleloader supplies near Olympia
Post by: jtw on August 14, 2016, 09:06:05 AM: I bought a muzzle loader last winter and have been dialing it in this summer. I've found most supplies like bullets and powder fairly easy to find but am having a hard time finding percussion caps. I have some musket caps but want to try #11s and #11 magnums, but I don't want to pay $20 extra for shipping hazardous materials. Is there any store within a reasonable distant of Olympia that has a good variety? Cabelas is garbage. The best I've found is sunbirds in chehalis but they didn't have much in the way of caps last time I went.

Any help is appreciated.

Don't forget the Sunbird main store in Chehalis/Centralia. If they don't have it I would be surprised.

Yeah that!

The German caps are what you want. They are as hot, or hotter than CCI mag caps. I'm glad you said they have them because I need more lol
Just to be clear, I'm talking about RWS Dynamit Nobel 1075's...in a little red can with a bluish label

That sounds about right. If thats the case I wish I'd grabbed them.
