Yes, but another 50 yards make it a bit harder don’t you think?

I think what you’re saying is at 100 yards you’d get 10 out of 10 within the size of a softball, and from 150 probably the size of a good-sized cantaloupe?

IMO/IME

Average shooting is @ 1.5-2” / 100 yards.
Good shooting is @ 1”/ 100 yards
REALLY Good shooting is @ .25-.5”/ 100 yards.

Assuming a decent set up.

That’s about right for a lever action deer rifle we use in the woods. I used to have a bolt action military surplus Swedish Mauser with military open sights. It would have held the group size down to softball size at 150 yards.
