If CCI caps hadn't become available i probably would have switched to flint ten years earlier. RWS, Dixie, and Remington, caps were what was available out here on the left coast back then. I didn't like Dixie's (Italian brass) or Remington's poorly sized, caps. So, I used RWS caps, not because they were all that good, they were just better than the rest. When I got my first batch of CCI's I was hooked. The old kit guns I had been shooting weren't reliable until I got that batch of CCI's. They are the best cap on the market IMHO.
By the way a friend that is still playing with cap guns, told me yesterday he got a batch of CCI's shipped to him from The Gun Works, in Oregon. So, some caps are still in the pipeline if you hunt around for them.
