By all means, go ahead and correct me!

It's your time of flight -- you assumed the bullet never slowed down.

Picking a military cartridge, the M33 ball, the time of flight to 3800 yards would be about 10.2 seconds. The velocity of the bullet at that range would be about 720 ft/sec.

Exactly correct. Glad there are people smarter than me here on FR who know this stuff. :-)
