I read somewhere that bullets take several hundred yards to fully stabilize and at one hundred yards that is simply not enough distance.

I have read and heard this many times. I cannot see how bullets can get more accurate the farther they go. The pretty corkscrew plots you may have seen are on a scale of .03 to .10 inch.
Ballistician Brian Litz has issued a challenge, if you can shoot groups smaller in MOA at 300 yards than at 100 yards, he will pay your way to demonstrate it on his targets at his range. The requirement is that it be the SAME BULLETS, shot through a tissue paper target at 100 yards on their way to 300. What you did yesterday at 100 and today at 300 with different bullets does not count.
Also remember, in our youth (I am 72) the Weatherby guarantee of 1.5" groups at 100 yards was a big deal.
