Can anyone suggest a source for musket sized percussion caps, not the #10 & 11 size?  The nipple measures 0.235" and is on a cannon.  Thanks, Pete

They should not be hard to find, I would think anyplace that handles blackpowder supplies may have them. I have found them at Walmart during the season and really cheap after the season. They are not quite so common as the number 11 size but not at all unusual.

Thanks for the tips, no local suppliers including Gander Mtn, Wally world, or the local BP shop have any-can't get them either. Found them @ 60.00 per thousand shipping and HazMat fee included through my powder dealer finally.
