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?
 

and if ya have trouble getting the compound ya can use these,,,

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.
 
The crazies have been coming out of the woodwork at the cb shop lately, I feel it is a sign of that shtf situation we have been hearing about for years.

here is the cap maker I have, all aluminum.
