PS:  RE:  RWS caps at $0.99 per hundred.  Yeah, Jim, I am getting kinda long in the tooth.  But I am not done yet.

Caps are that scarce around here, I can probably move 10 bricks by the tin at  1 rondy!

And to think when I was paying a dollar for a tin of 100 caps (many years ago) / I thought that was highway robbery!!!

99 cents a tin, boy I remember those days. RWS, CCI or REM $9.99 for a paper roll of 10 tins.
That was back when Goex was $9 a pound. and everybody had some for sale.

Huh?  30 years ago it was $4.50 or up to $5 depending on where you bought it.  That was in Oregon.

I very rarely fire percussions and rely on flintlocks for everything.  Many years ago I picked up a "brick" of CCI primers for a very reasonable price.  Already had a few hundred left over from the '60s.  Then I came into a few hundred musket caps to round things out.  So I have a modest stash of caps and won't need any more likely for a good while.  Flintlocks are just so simple to feed and fire.

Ya I guess I do remember around $5-6 a pound. There was a place in town that was a repair center for RCBS and he'd get us caps for $5 a 1000 somtimes.

I came across a guy in a little shop in Ironwood MI several years ago that had a bunch of musket caps that somebody ordered and never picked up. When I showed an interest he said if I got them out of there I could have them for $3 a tin. I took all 12.
