Remington Express XLR in .410 is a 3-inch hunting shell loaded with 0.6875 ounces of lead No. 4 birdshot at a listed 1135 feet per second, 25 to a box. It is a small-game and upland load, and Remington names pheasant, quail, rabbits and squirrels as the intended targets, with the balanced performance and tight patterns the Express XLR line is known for.

In South Carolina a .410 with No. 4 shot is a squirrel and rabbit shell as much as a bird shell, and the 3-inch case carries more payload than the short .410 loads. It suits a young hunter's first shotgun or anyone who walks the woods with a light gun and wants a little more reach from it. Make sure the shotgun is chambered for 3-inch shells before loading these, since many .410s are not.
