Nope. I tune a load for the barrel not the distance.
I load a 75 gr Hornady HPBT with 24.1 grains of RE-15.
I get a submoa group out of a 16" Noveske Barrel at 100 and I'm hitting a 12" steel plate at 400 yards no problem.______________________________________

I use Hornady or Sierra 69gn bt bullets. at 100 yards 6 shots in one ragged hole, at 200 yards a quarter covers the holes with room to spare. (Savage Axis 223 rifle)
I also use Hornady Zmax 50gn bt, but my pattern is just a little bit larger.Comment

I hardly ever shoot the AR less than 200 yards. So no, I don't have a different load for 100 yards.
But If I were to shoot a short range 100 yard reduced course regularly, I might just shoot 52/55gr BTHP to save money as opposed to my standard 77gr 200 and 300 yard load.
