No, he's talking rat, tat, tat, tat, tat, tat,

on the drums.

He wants to turn the beat around. Turn it upside down.

It's got to be thе rhythm, no doubt about it.

Nope! I've got tins from 20 years ago. Once the prices settle down a bit, I'll buy the ones I hope I'm still alive in twenty years to look at and say, "I've got tins from way back in 2022."

Let me put it this way...I've got around 20K musket caps. And I'm primarily a revolver shooter. My supply of #11s is probably twice that.

Update. Just stopped at Bass Pro on way home from AGC. They have #11 caps (Remington, about 15 tins out in the muzzleloader isle, $13.99/tin), and 209 primers. Price is high, but at least their showing up.

Thank you. I just stopped by and they still had some. I bought my first BP revolver (Stainless ROA) in January and haven't been able to shoot it yet because of caps being unobtanium. These look like they will work great with a slight pinch.

I'm happy for BP to jack up the price if it scares off the scalpers / hoarders in a time of scarcity.

i don't know if they are " jacked up " , seems like the new normal , figure rifle/pistol primers are $100 per thousand now , might come down some but the days of $6 caps and $30 primers are long gone , imo.

Here's a couple of pics from a Facebook BP group of CCi caps available at Wal Marts in KY and OH. Look at the price.
