Anything I can do to squeeze more accuracy out of this gun I've got it shooting 1/2 inch groups at 50yds but 100 not so good

What are you feeding your little beast?
How are you holding your little beastie?
What is the wind doing to your shots??
100 yards is a golden unicorn turd. Don't obsess
with 100 yard or 200 yard. Remember that you are shooting a pellet gun. Work on your fundamental skills up close, first.
Hitting metal swinger is one thing, chasing hole on hole accuracy is waaaay different.

She's eating 18.13g jsbs set to 3/4 on power knob and I usually try to shoot in evenings when the wind lays

Have you done any Chrono work? I did see a difference when I turned my hammer spring pre load adjuster by the 1/8th turn. I found the tightest group by shooting 5 shot strings, adjust 1/8 turn, shoot another group.
Have you.any other guns that YOU can shoot at your desired 100 yard accuracy level? Not trying to bust your balls, just don't know much about you or your experience level. What IS your desired performance at 100yards??

you could play with it forever but if you want an outside suggestion, shoot over a chrony at full power one clip per group and note which pressure seems to be agreeing with it, then start playing with spring tension and wash rinse and repeat, if you find a magic pressure you may want to rethink your filling and shotcount plan .... imo the 'power adjuster' should be the last place your working on accuracy with from the gun itself ..

I shoot my 22-250 at 800yds but that's a whole other ball game compared lol I do not own a chronograph at the moment but it's on my list for the near future and if I could get atleast a 3 inch group with it at 100 I'd be more than satisfied

Ok, time to try a different pellet. I have a gun that shoots the most popular pellet like a laser for 38 yards. past 45 yards, it won't stay on 8x11 paper.
I would also work up to 100 yards in 10 yard increments. 50 to 100 is a 100% increase of the base distance. Take small bites and enjoy the flavor of each bite. It will also help you learn your hold overs or clicks for each distance. I prefer real world results over computer generated predictions. Yes,, there is a place for ballistic programs, but I still prefer real world empirical results.

I definitely agree with you on trying different pellets cause it's hitting target but they are all over the place I'm also sorting them

If you can get a 1/2 inch group at 50 yards then the 100 yard groups opening up is because of wind.
