22 Hornet Accuracy: 50 ->100m

[thepie]

I'm not sure it's this simple, but I have access to a 50m range and all my load development thus far has been at this distance. I would like to project accuracy at 100m, can anyone confirm that the standard 40-45gr bullets extrapolate to 100m?

Assuming perfect conditions:

50m: 1/4 inch -> 100m: 1/2 inch

50m: 1/2 inch -> 100m: 1 inch

50m: 3/4 inch -> 100m: 1 1/2 inches

50m: 1 inch -> 100m: 2 inches

Any real data for any smaller hunting caliber would be appreciated. Thank you

It doesn't always translate that way.

A 1/4inch group at 50 yards could easily be 1/4 inch at 300 yards also. You are correct in that a 1/4 inch group at 50 yards is 1/2moa (roughly) and a 1/2 inch group at 100 yards is also 1/2moa but you’d need to shoot it to verify. Anything could happen, your bullet might start wobbling at 75 yards for some reason and they could open out beyond that. It’s not likely but it’s possible.
