I can remember years back when I had a long range centerfire varmint rifle that shot rather well, but the accuracy never got "good" until about 300 yards. The odd thing was it would shoot nearly equal size groups at both 200 and 300 yards?? Literally, the gun did this with great consistency and was no fluke. We typically expect groups to get larger as distance increases not stay the same at 2 different distances separated by 100 yards. I had read of something similar but long after I had sold that particular gun. I have seen multiple rifles that were more precise at 1000yards than they were at 100, but never the same group sizes at 2 different yardages?
Fast forward a number of years and I had a similar experience with a PCP rifle. With one particular pellet it would shoot .5" at 25 yards, but would still shoot .5" at 50 yards. Has anyone had a similar experience? I have always credited the phenomenon I experienced to bullet/pellet stabilization in that the projectile had not stabilized at the closer distance but had stabilized or atleast began to at the longer distance, hence the same size groups at 2 different distances??
