Just fyi, the range is in the neighborhood of a couple thousand yards, give or take a hundred, for that measley .45 you mentioned, held at an angle of approximately 33 degrees. Rifles are sometimes double or more of that.

It is based on muzzle velocity, weight, and actual shape of the projectile, in slicing though the air.

So, yeah, if you had a rifle, I could expect indirect harrassment fire from you a couple miles away.

Naturally your odds of actually hitting me would be low, more because of the difficulty in aiming and doping the wind at those diastances, than the ability of the round to travel that far.
