Black Powder caps?

[Moleculo]

I never thought I would see the day when black powder caps became scarce. I can make my own black powder and cast my own ball, but I can't make caps. Does anyone have a source for both #11 and #10 caps?

They became unavailable back in 2013 or so, too. I bought a cap maker similar to that one from a guy named Manny in California who is on youtube and some of the forums.

Are you the seller?
They cost less than others on the market, and I like the fact that they have a musket cap maker as well as No. 10 and 11. But they are 3d printed plastic, and I have doubts as to how well they will hold up.

I bought the #10, #11, and #1081 musket cap maker set, and they work just fine. The plastic is strong enough for the task.

I don't doubt they're strong enough. I just worry that they will eventually fatigue and break. I would however like to find the files so I can print my own. That way when it breaks I can just print a new one.

Of course, if you have the skills and equipment to do so.

I bought a small press a few years ago that makes them out ouf aluminum can material, add some of there prime all compund and you have a cap. I am glad I stocked up on the cci caps about 5 years ago so I have only experimented with it. This is the company that made the press but I can not find it on their site. https://22lrreloader.com/products/prime-all-repriming-compound
