The numbers were sounding off to me. My .260 Rem with the Hornady A-max, BC of 0.585 at 2850fps mv will make 1000yds in 1.99 seconds. I ran the Cheytac numbers: 419gr,BC .949,@ 2850 fps mv. Time of flight to 1.5 miles(2640/ rounded to 2600yds)= 4.68seconds and still retains over 1000 ftlbs of energy.

Maybe not 3 seconds but...
Very Impressive numbers.
