I'd guess that a bullet would free fall at less than 150 MPH. I believe people free fall at around 120 MPH.

Has to do with aerodynamics and density more than anything else. The bullet will be going at terminal velocity by the time it hits the ground. But what is terminal velocity for a bullet?

Pretty fast, I would wager.
