This load contains 24 pellets of #4 buckshot inside a 2¾-inch 12 gauge shell, providing a strong combination of pattern density and terminal effectiveness for predators such as coyotes and other varmints.
A key feature of the Varmint Express line is Hornady’s Versatite® wad technology, which separates cleanly from the shot column to produce tight, consistent patterns without requiring specialized choke systems. This helps deliver improved pattern uniformity across a wide range of shotguns.
