I just checked on the musket caps to satisfy my curiousity, and found that CCI only makes caps designed for "reenactments". That's why they suck for shooting. Apparently, they weren't selling enough to keep real ones in the product line.
RWS caps are available online, but run about .09 per, before shipping and hazmat. If you need 'em, you can get 'em, but at a stiff price. For Hawkens and such, I'd stick with CCI 11 mags. Musket shooters are stuck, I guess. If I had a musket, I'd bite the bullet once on the hazmat for 5000, keep 2 or 3K, and sell the rest at my cost to defray the expense. In this area, there are a lot of folks that need the musket caps and I'm pretty sure they'd sell. Elsewhere, who knows?
A local dealer might be persuaded to inlude a brick or two in his regular order, provided his supplier carries them and you were willing to pony up in advance. That would save you the hazmat.
