Mup, .22 auto accuracy?

Ok so this is from about 35 yds off a folding table with the forend on a sandbag.
It's that 10/22 I put together probably 18-20 years ago. It's got a 16" .920 aluminum barrel, a trigger and the action slicked up to shoot subsonic rounds. The shell was Auguila superextra subsonic 38 grn hp. Originally I used PMC brand of the same load made by Auguila for PMC, that's how long ago I put the gun together. After PMC quit offering it I found the load in Aguila and bought several bricks of them. The gun was my #1 squirrel dogging rifle for a long time till I got that Winchester Wildcat that's a little lighter and will cycle CCI Quiet rounds, that gun isn't as accurate as the 10/22 but it's accurate enough.
I wonder how groups like that would translate to 50yds? 100yds? or the 200 yd gong shooting?

This is the Winchester Wildcat I use with the dogs, I modified the peep to see if I could get it accurate enough and it does ok but I only shot it with the CCI Quiet, I'm gonna try it with the Auguila.
I didn't want to put a scope on it if I could help it, it's carried 100 to 1 over being shot following those dogs and every ounce feels like a pound after a few miles. The factory peep had a ghost ring size hole but I filled it with JB weld and put a pinhole in it before it set up.

It will do fine but might require some $ to find the ammo it likes, if a rifle will group great at 50y it will group great at 100y, nothing changes with the gun when you point it at a target farther out lol. A chronograph can help to see how consistent the speed is. I have 1 but after not being used for a few years it didn't want to read, need to pull it out and piddle with it.
