"What´s meant with 100%?" - Status Chance the value listed in the game, the one you see when you look at the weapons stats in the Arsenal has to be 100%. "Base Estimated status chance" - There is no such thing, it's just "Base Status Chance", no estimation involved. The base status chance shown in the UI is an absolute value put into the game by DE, it is fact.

"Base Status chance per bullet" - This value is an estimate, that's what the "~" means, that the following numbers are an approximation of the actual value. This number is calculated from the base status chance.

Status Mods affect the Base Status Chance of the weapon and then the per bullet status chance is calculated from that. In the case of Strun Wraith a single 60/60 mod will bring the Status Chance up to 64% which, using the formula given above, results in: 1-((1-0.64)^(1÷10)) = ~9.71% per bullet status chance.

Now if we apply enough 60/60 mods to bring the Status Chance up to 100% then the formula gives us: 1-((1-1)^(1÷10)) = 100% per bullet status chance.

This isn't "magic", this is mathematics. Also, this makes perfect sense because the only way the shot can be guarenteed to have a proc is if every pellet is guarenteed to proc. For, if each individual pellet has a chance of not procing then they have a chance of all simulataneously not procing, meaning the shot would have a chance of not procing.
