So that is almost 700 inches for 1K, imagine the remaining 760 yards when it is totally out of steam, with no energy or velocity left, it has to be double that of 1K, wouldn't it be Ironic if it had 1760 inches of drop @ 1760 yards.LOL

PS: none the less it is still a feat, I just lose interest as soon as the bullet starts dropping.
