Hornady Varmint Express 12 Gauge #4 Buckshot 2¾” 24-Pellet 1350 FPS – 10 Rounds is a purpose-built varmint and predator load designed for tight patterns, strong penetration, and reliable performance at practical hunting distances.
When predators move fast and shots happen quick, you need a shotshell that patterns consistently and hits with authority. Hornady’s Varmint Express line is built specifically for varmint and predator hunters who want dependable performance and a load tuned for real-world field conditions.

This 12-gauge 2¾-inch buckshot load uses a 24-pellet #4 buck configuration driven at 1,350 feet per second—delivering a strong blend of pellet count and energy for effective coverage on moving targets. The #4 buck size is a popular choice for predator hunting because it offers deeper penetration than birdshot while providing more pellet count than larger buck sizes, helping put effective hits on target within practical ranges.

If you’re looking for a high-quality, versatile predator shell designed for dependable patterning and decisive performance, Hornady Varmint Express #4 buck is a proven option to keep in your hunting loadout.
