Who is the best online source for C&B powder, caps, round balls?

Having a difficult time of finding black powder C&B accessories; powder, caps, and balls. Everyone locally and online seems to be out of stock and none of the local sporting good stores carry much of anything, if anything at all for black powder. Even our local Bass Pro store has essentially......NOTHING. So I'm looking for an online source that ships to the Left Coast, i.e. California. THANKS

Check Natchez & Powder Valley for caps. Be careful with CCI caps as I've found many of them to have the compound all to one side. They work fine in a muzzleloader, but not on my 1860's.

I normally buy my powder from Powder Valley (https://www.powdervalley.com/), Maine Powder House (https://mainepowderhouse.com/), Powder Inc. (https://powderinc.com/) or Crater Fireworks (http://www.addictedtoblackpowder.com/). I just order 20lbs from Crater, should be delivered today, at $23.00/lb plus shipping and hazmat.

 

For round balls try Midsouth Shooters (https://www.midsouthshooterssupply.com/)

Check with Midsouth Shooter’s Supply! They had Remington #10 and #11 caps in stock last week!  Lots of 5,000!

 

EDIT:  In Stock today! Lots of 1,000 for 119.99 for CCI

 

Remington #10s and #11s in lots of 5,000 STILL AVAILABLE

I've found that many sporting goods just stock muzzleloading supplies seasonally.  Check your local stores during muzzleloading hunting season and accessories may be available.  You can order Hornady .454 diameter lead ball from Bass Pro Shops and pick them up at your local store.  Same for Pyrodex or Triple Seven powder though I prefer real black powder for cap and ball revolvers.  At Bordertown I announced that MidSouth had Remington #10 caps.  A few shooters got together and decided to order 5,000 and split the order.

There is no best online source.  There are online sources and you have to monitor them.  Supplies come and go out of stock very QUICKLY.  You need to bookmark several and check them frequently.  The chances of anyone having powder, balls and caps all at the same time are remote.

Fixed that for ya, cause they're showing as out of stock now.  Powder, Inc. has RWS #11, label sez 1075 in 250 count tins in stock in 1000 - 5000 qtys.  They're a bit more than the Remingtons were listed for at Mid-South, but... if you need caps, I've found these to be a good backup for the Remingtons.

The CCIs and #11 Remingtons are still in stock.
