I have seen long running raging arguments where very experienced reloaders and shooters say this can't be possible. They cite the logic "Ok how do the bullets know when to start steering themselves back toward the point of aim to give a closer group. The point is the groups are not smaller but they are less MOA. Since it is not really possible to deal with logic flawed in that manner I just tell then to talk to the technicians at Sierra Bullets. One of their techs cited a specific 6.5 Sierra Matchking that can shoot smaller MOA at longer ranges. The bullet is so long that it takes a while for it to go to sleep. That usually causes the thread to come to dead end.
Of course the arguments also result in me getting called a few names because I also have a rifle that does that. It is a .25-06 that shoots smaller MOA at 200 yards than at 100 yards.
Thats the way I'd figured it as well.
Not smaller in inches but smaller in MOA.
