Come On Now! Percussion Caps $60/1000?

Postby maxhunter on Tue Mar 12, 2013 10:04 pm

What the heck is going on! I did not realize that the panic pricing appears to have affected the cost of percussion caps too. I have not see any recent increase in black powder/bp substitute or bullets, just the caps but ml bullets and powder have seemed to be higher in cost, when compared to metallic reloading components, for a long time now.

Aw, come on!! You're a coal burner, which means you like to hang around all afternoon and shoot the s**t with other coal burners, and shoot off maybe 10 cylinders full of ammo, which is 60 rounds, so bumping the cap price up by $30 really means it's costing you another $1.80 to shoot all afternoon. Than ain't anything like blowing through even 100 rounds of .223 at abuck a shot!!

And BTW, we WANT shooters like you out at Oakdale when it's 95 and humid, because the sound of mosquitos choking to death on the black power smoke is music to everybody's ears!!
