I wonder what you mean by stretching all the way across 100%. In <hr>, the
_default_ is width="100%", i.e. the entire available width. But maybe you
want more than everything? :-)
The point is that the <body> element tends to have some default margin or
padding, since texts would look uncomfortable if they started at the very
border of the canvas.
You can use
body { margin: 0; padding: 0; }
and then a <hr> will extend across the entire canvas. However, then you
should probably take care of putting your content inside a container that
has some padding or margin, e.g.
<body>
<div class="content">
content proper here
</div>
<hr>
<div class="content">
more content
</div>
with, say,
..content { padding: 0.3em 0.5em 0.3em 1em; }
