« Last post by Steamburn on April 23, 2024, 05:55:02 AM »Thank ya'll for your input.
Ordered 3 tins (250 caps ea)of RWS 1075 from Powder Valley.
That should last me for a while.
I'll report back when I get to use them.

All three were ones I don't have. Nothing exciting but I've never seen this CCI tin and I've never seen a Fiocchi percussion cap tin that was not labeled Alcan on it somewhere, this Fiocchi can is aluminum. I've seen the green & white label but never a light blue one. The CCI tin and the Fiocchi tin are nearly full.
