Hornady 86243 Varmint Express 12 Gauge 4 Buck Shot

In the world of shotgunning, efficiency and precision often mark the difference between success and mere effort. Enter the Hornady Varmint Express 12-gauge shells—crafted with an eye for excellence that reflects Hornady's unwavering commitment to superior quality and performance in ammunition.

These shells are a testament to thoughtful engineering, featuring the innovative Versatite wad. Unlike traditional loads requiring shotgun modification or specialized chokes, these cartridges function seamlessly without such complexities. The Versatite wad itself orchestrates the patterning process, yielding optimal results when paired with an Improved Cylinder or Modified choke.

As each shell is fired, this advanced wad strips cleanly from its payload of size #4 pellets—a design that ensures pellets remain cohesive during flight. This cohesion translates into a shorter shot string upon impact, delivering concentrated energy where it matters most. Such uniformity in pellet dispersion results in tight patterns that maintain their integrity without relying on aftermarket accessories.

Specifically loaded to ensure reliable cycling in both semi-automatic and pump-action shotguns, these 2¾-inch shells promise versatility across various platforms. Packaged conveniently in boxes of ten for easy transport and accessibility, they represent a powerful blend of deep penetration capability coupled with precise shot placement—qualities essential for effective varmint hunting.

For those seeking high-performance ammunition tailored specifically for varmint control tasks, look no further than Hornady's Varmint Express line. Each pull of the trigger affirms why Hornady remains synonymous with top-tier craftsmanship within firearm circles worldwide.
