Shooter, physicist AND mathematician you are not. 10^-8 miles is 633 microinch.
The time of flight of the round was ten seconds and at just about the speed of sound, so the bullet and the bang are roughly simultaneous.

The truly amazing parameter is the holdover at 10 seconds at 9.8 meters/second^2

160 meters?

Agreed I messed that calculation up, LOL
