tom, no doubt, equipment has a ton to do with it....but a rifle shooting a 1" group at 100yds SHOULD print 2" at 200yds....? 3" at 300yds...?

i dont know...ive kinda always thought so though...im new to the "long range stuff" and im working slowly and learning what i can when i can and will work on equipment as i go. but to me if your hitting 1" left at 100yds you'll be hitting 2" left at 200yds?

once you got a rifle and scope setup and ammo that shoots decent, only thing left is the guy behind the rifle. not overly hard to setup a rifle to beable to shoot 1" groups or so at 100yds these days...
I wish what you are saying here was the truth. But it is far from the truth. There are a lot of variables with the equipment we use. The main reason of my post was to show that shooting is not so simple. Especially when you start to shoot at distances past 100 yards. Tom.
