The Perimeter is a labour of love: it’s taken 454 days of walking, hundreds of hours of planning and thousands of hours of editing. If you have the means, I’d appreciate your support by buying a print or contributing so I can continue to share the project with you.

Some kind of high powered rifle has been used on those steel targets you can tell by the very neat circular holes although it was too thick for it to go right through.I always remember shooting a steel plate in South Africa with a .357 magnum revolver and it lifted the plate in the air but hardly put a dent in it but a little .22 Hornet rifle just burnt a hole through the same steel.
Yes, . 243 is the minimum legal calibre in Scotland for deer but due to the long range larger is often used
Any rifle over 2000 feet per second will burn those style of holes in thick metal even .17,.222,.223,etc..Hand guns tend to splatter and leave a lead mark even the .44 magnum wouldn’t dent metal like that.Shot guns at point blank can tear through tempered steel that’ll defeat a revolver like a .357 or .44 magnum revolver but only if it’s point blank or a solid slug and if they are something like 20 or 12 gauge a .410 would bounce off even point blank.Well firearms is an interesting digression from hiking! Enjoy today’s hike mine in Scotland have been rather limited in 2021; Gretna Green and around the Solyway Firth, Urban walk in Edinburgh to the Royal Observatory and back to the centre and Glasgow to Cumberslang via the Clyde Walkway.
All reasons I like to wear a hi-viz hat and leave my antlers at home in stalking season!
What an amazing project, Quintin. I thoroughly enjoyed your photos and reading more on your site about The Perimeter. Impressive! 😀👏🏻🥾
Thanks, It’s been a life affirming experience.
