I looked everywhere online for a couple years then gave up.

check sporting goods stores they have them sometimes also local BP stores have them usually- like Muzzleloading Emporium and Muzzleloading and more in oregon

Sportsmans Whorehouse has CCI #10 in stock. That's what I use.

They're readily available online. They show as in stock at Midway USA, Graf & Sons and Brownells. Of course there will be hazmat charges. That should be an indication that someone should have them in stock locally. I'm not sure about the coast, but if I were looking for them, I would try The Gun Works in Springfield.

Something to consider with percussion caps....

Many times you can switch nipples out....
Say you have a firearm that takes #10 caps...but all you can find is #11 caps....
Buy a set of #11 nipples for your firearm...and go shooting.

When I can't find #10 I buy #11 and give them a little pinch...

and give them a little pinch...

LOL I was typing the same when you posted this!

Something else you can do is give #11 caps a slight 'squeeze' to get them to hold on to the nipples.

It will fire no problem but occasionally a spent cap might fall off and cause a 'jam' between the hammer & cylinder but they can be 'dug' out fairly easily.

I've done this for years with a couple BP revolvers with minor issues such as this.

The 'upside' is you will never have a 'stuck' spent cap that needs to be pried off which will occasionally happen with the # 10 caps.

Spot on my friend! I was using #10's on my son's BP revolver and had to use a multi-tool to remove the spent caps. I started using #11's and do have some hiccups with the spent cap falling off and jamming the revolver, but that's a minor annoyance. I suppose if I was carrying it for self-defense, I would probably go with the #10's, but that is highly unlikely.

Ditto this. When it DOES happen most of the time the cap falls out with no issues.

AND some #11's fit fine on the nipples. They ain't 'precision' sized....
