View attachment 117566Found this stuff today at my local old man on the river store.....where in the hell do I find the old percussion caps? I tore this old loader down was going to see if I could hunt with it for memories.
You can’t find anything on the shelves down here. Just some of the oddball stuff. Oddly enough, powerbelts and percussion cap loaders are still everywhere. No powder too shoot it.... Is it just production is that down or demand that high?

I plan on getting out. I'll be shooting this week as well. Haven't shot my ML for a long time. When I get my ML stuff out I'll check for older style caps. I think I gave them away years ago.

You have can have it all. Everything works and the Elephant black powder is still good. The #11 percussion caps are brand new and never been opened. All stored properly too. You'll have to travel though to get them from me. I can meet you part way tomorrow perhaps. I'll give them to you at no cost!

Good luck! Hope you find some, if not, you can still get a hold me over the next couple of days if need be. Not doing too much both Thursday & Friday during the day.

I didn't locate any. Fairly certain they went with the Remington 700 I sold years ago. Or I gave them to a buddy. Sorry man.
