I tried making my own caps and it didn't turn out so well. Trying to mix the supplied components(in the kit)and then inserting it into the cap was tedious and it seemed like I put in too much or not enough. I fortunately ordered a case of Remington #10s just before the shortage hit but that won't last forever. Just like casting your own bullets, when you think you have plenty of lead you end up saying, "hey, where did it all go?" I'm starting to see primers available so I hope caps won't be too far behind.
