Where would the bullet land?

[Golfer]

With the assumption that the bullet does not destabilize , I would think it would given the numbers below.

Alt                                 25k         45k
Launch Speed                 450mph    528mph
Secs to impact                65           97
Horizontal Distance          30858       55107
Plane Dist Traveled           42880       75082
Speed at impact.             444FPS     446FPS

but as it gets lower it will encounter thicker air,thus more drag.not to mention spin drift,rotation of earth,higher amounts of drag as it gets lower,air temp,speed of airplane,and heat waves

They have a max time of flight after that they disappear.
