The yardage doesn't change the accuracy of the rifle it changes the accuracy of the shooter.
100 yards is usually used as the minimum to calculate MOA for high powered rifles since it is long enough that most bullets will have stabilized in 100 yards.
And the particular conditions you hunt under have nothing to do with the calculation of accuracy, they just have to do with the minimum acceptable accuracy which is an opinion not a measurement.
There is much more than the shooter that changes at long distance. Environmental changes have a bigger impact on trajectory than anything else.
100 yards usually is, but not all the time. Most of my shooting is done at longer distances. I wouldn't waste my time shooting my 338 Edge at anything less than 400 yards.
Many of the bullets I shoot take longer to stabilize than 100 yards.
