I realize that may sound like a stupid question, but what I mean by it is is it possible for a rifle to shoot a not so good 1-2 inch group at 100 yards but maintain that at further distance rather than growing at the "moa" rate, i.e. 1" @ 100, 2" @ 200, 3" @ 300.
Could you shoot a group that is 1-2 at 100 but maintain that to 300 so a 2 moa group becomes something like a 3/4 moa group at 300.
I've searched online and find vague references to this being possible with bullets taking time to stabilize but others discredit this.
I ask because I'm finding a loading that my rifle likes I am discounting a lot at 100 and don't want to waste ammo even trying at 200 or 300 yards if this isn't possible.
Thanks
