Hey everyone! Well I've been wanting to get into cap n' ball revolver shooting for some time now, and I have my "sights set" on a Uberti 1851 Colt Navy .36. I have found various sources for powder and balls, but...
I CAN'T FIND PERCUSSION CAPS FOR THE LIFE OF ME!!!
Every place I look around my area of eastern Kansas, they are nowhere to be found. I've checked the Cabelas and Bas Pro Shops, nothing. Several times I've checked over the pat 6 months. They have the labels for them on the shelves, but they are empty.
Back home in Illinois, I've tried many places. Still, I can't seem to find any percussion caps at all! I know you can order through the internet, but there are hazmat fees for that and I just would rather not do such a thing if I can avoid it. It just seems strange to me. I'm in particular looking for Remington #10 caps as I hear these are best for this revolver.
Does anyone know where I can find any percussion caps? Is there a shortage right now, are you having issues with this to? Are there any alternatives I can use instead? This is really keeping me from getting into cap n' ball revolver shooting, which I do enjoy as I've done it before and would greatly like to do again!
Thanks!
