Tried making caps a few times but found it frustrating. This from a person who finds reloading and bullet casting, hour after hour, as relaxing. So, when something like percussion caps(and primers) become available I just pull out the credit card and purchase as much as I can. I find it easier to pay the balance off over time than complain about not shooting because of what's not available. I hope that doesn't sound like a lecture, it's just that shooting is my priority and I don't want that interrupted. Merry Christmas everyone!!
