what I meant was .....that they started using the FTX bullet in their Shotgun slugs instead of the SST they they oiginally used......I no longer use a shotgun for deer and was unaware they changed them....They are still calling them SST slugs but if you look down at the ordering link, it says....20 ga Slug 250 gr FTX®

Keep us posted on how that scope holds up. I know they are pretty inexpensive. Just wondering how they will hold their zero after continued pounding from the Omega.
