I contacted H&N. The pellets I was looking for have been discontinued

The eBay dealer has Finale Match Pistol 7.56 grain in stock. He has 53 tins in 4.51mm and 87 tins in 4.48mm. If they are no longer made, you might want to buy up a big bunch.

Another option is the X-Sport pellets that are branded as Stoeger. They are made by H&N with a weight of 7.48 grains.
https://www.cabelas.ca/product/149286/s ... on-pellets

Only $6.99/500 here.
https://accuracyplus.biz/shop/ammunitio ... 0-pcs-tin/

It looks like another lot of the Stoegers weigh 7.1 grains.

Your local sporting goods store may be able to get Stoeger pellets. Price on the X-Sport seems to range from $7 to $15 a tin.

Thank you for the research

I was looking for this exact pellet as that what the Cadets were using in completion here in Nova Scotia. The Cadets aren't allowed to bring/use their own pellets. They have to use ones provided, hence the reason I was looking for a specific pellet.
I'm trying to get an answer as to what pellet they will be using at the Provincial shoot next month. I don't see much point in her practicing and getting used to a different pellet than she will be shooting in competition.

If you can control that aspect then yes. Consisitency matters. Realisitically I think other than a slight shift in POI she'll likely get similar results with the standard H&N affair. Just a bit of zeroing on the day of competition during warm up which is normal. You are going to get a lot more accuracy deviation from the 953 than from the pellet.

Yes, it seems to be much more pellet sensitive than the 753 with the Walther Lothar barrel.

Good practice is vital. What pellet she is shooting is less important than the fact that she does shoot/practice.

She doesn't shoot as much as I do but she likely shoots 3/4 tin a week.

Which is suffice. Most practice should be dry fire and other drills.

We watched the Canadian Junior National airgun competition in Truro NS this weekend. Her coach wants to get her geared up and shooting a pcp to see if she can compete in next year's Junior nationals.

FUN! Life moves fast doesn't it? Maybe she's another Ginny Thrasher.

Take a look at Cibles. They've been in the competative 10m business for a long time. Father to son. Tesro is ok too. Nice guy. Father-inlaw to son.

Yes it speeds up sometimes. The girl who won was a 13 year old from Saskatchewan. Lots of talented shooters there.
