Math question, 1 inch group at 50 yard, what would be the est. group at 100?
Please help the wounded store owner who fought off 3 robbers. He doesn't have medical insurance.

The answer to the math question, is that you could expect a two inch group group at 100 yards (four inches at 200, six inches at 300, etc.)
But of course there is more to it than that. Wind affects accuracy the longer the distance, and drops in velocity means the inherent accuracy drops as well.

cartridge, bullet weight, barrel length, all come into play. There are sooooooo many variables.

Depends a lot on the cartridge - a rimfire that starts out slightly supersonic and transitions to subsonic between 50yards and 100 yards may well group into more than 2" at 100 yards.
Conversely, a high-velocity centerfire may group well under 2" at 100 yards - bullets tend to oscillate a bit bit when they leave the muzzle, and take a bit of flight to stabilize. So relative or proportionate accuracy at longer range may be better than close-range groups would suggest.
