That tail feather looks like 30 bars or more.

Are those 10 gauge Winchester shells reloads or are you shooting full strength ammo?

I shoot both black powder and smokeless in most of my guns. The gun pictured with the shell sticking out has 70 thousandths wall thickness! It was used in Africa as a lion or tiger gun. It can shoot both round ball and shot. It weights 15 pounds. My Parker lifter has 40 thousandths minimum wall thickness. I shoot full house factory old stock 2 7/8 shells thru it as well. I generally only buy and collect damascus guns. The workmanship is unbelievable.

It was a nice bird but only had a 26" tail feather. I was actually looking for huns but didn't see any that day. The pheasant was a target of opportunity.
