Hornady, Varmint Express, 12 Gauge, Buckshot 4 Buck, 24 Pellets, 10 Rounds

The Hornady Varmint Express is a 12-gauge, 2.75-inch shotgun load that gives hunters a dependable option for coyote and varmint work, loaded with 24 lead pellets of 4-buck to deliver tight shot patterns and deep penetration at a muzzle velocity around 1350 fps. If you hunt fields, roadsides, or brush lines where quick, humane takedown and consistent terminal performance matter, this Varmint Express shell offers the right balance of pellet count and shot size to control spread without sacrificing energy downrange. Built on a plastic hull in a high-visibility red, these shells are easy to handle in the cold or dim light and the load length works in most modern 12-ga. hunting and semiauto platforms. Hornady's Varmint Express series has a reputation among hunters for reliable patterning and predictable trajectory, making range testing straightforward and follow-up shots more reliable. With a focus on varmint applications like coyote and ground predator control, these loads suit stalks, stand hunting, and roadside calling where a concentrated, high-velocity buckshot is required.
