With the current shortage of ammo and reloading components, I decided it might be time to think about shooting my wall hanger percussion revolver. I've been reading that there's no shortage of caps, so that seemed like a way to keep shooting.
A friend works across the street from a Cabela's, so I asked him to check BP supplies. They only had Pyrodex in FFFG -- not my first (or second) choice, but it would work. They had .454 balls. Caps -- he said there wasan't a single percussion cap in the place.
So much for makin' smoke.
