Look what I found.
« on: November 23, 2022, 07:52:36 AM »
I was digging through my shooting box, trying to organize a little before this weekends Muzzle Loading Hunt.
When I stumbled across this box of Remington Caps, still has the wrap around it and the price on the back.
Looks like I paid top dollar for them too.
I thought Hawg had a picture of this same tin, but I'm unable to find it.
I think I'll just set them aside for now.

One thing I didn't like about those Remingtons was that they didn't put the cap size on the tin, just the paper label.  So you had to remember to scratch the size onto the tin, or else risking wondering "are these 10s, 11s ,or 12s?"  (might still have some 12s).

Yep, same tin. Yours is in a lot better shape than mine. I'd hang on to them.
