I bought mine from Midway

Brian

Galazans carries the fancy ones. Not sure if they have them listed online but they do carry them.

Last place I saw A-Zoom was Midway.

Brain 1, remember the .470 NE caps are the same as .500 NE. You can even use the cartridge shaped A-Zoom .470 NE caps in the .500 NE.

Midway doesn't list for the 500 that i can find on their website
, Graf & sons do but they only have 1 in stock. The Azoom part # is 11409.

Check with Graf and Sons. Packy

Why not get them from your local gun shop? If they do not have them, they certainly can order them.......... Thats where I got mine

Trader Keith has them.

Midway has both the A-Zoom (part #618668) and the NECG (part #262630). Either of these will work in the .500 NE.

NECG has them. 470-500 same caps.

I like your advise, the only problem is that I own and operate the local gun shop.

Brownells has them.

Kynamco in Suffolk England (www.kynochammunition.co.uk) make them in nickel plated with correct headstamp and can mail order them to you via credit card order, the cost for a pair is around £22 U.K pounds plus int'l shipping air mail which would add a few pounds only.

chopperguy,
Can you get me the item # from Brownells as I can't find it.

Brian1,

I found you a really nice set here at my local gun shop...these are very high quality, Nickel plated and are a bit pricey, but they'll be the last set you'll ever need!

PM me if you want them and I'll get them to you,

Jeff

I just pop out primers on fired cases, fill with RTV, once cured just trim off the excess with a razor blade. Crip a bullet and you're set. I've made snap caps for all my guns this way and it has worked for years...yes, I'm cheap.

I cut down a couple cases that I had screwed up (Who'd have thought that a unversal de-capper was too short for a 475 3 1/4), filled them with silver solder, and stuck a couple of 410 bore mops into the molten solder. That and a little RTV and I got a couple snazzy snap caps that should also help keep the oil out of the action.
