At that velocity, the round disintegrates at right around 450m So its a expensive candy corn shooter. I'm pretty sure since there's no actual fire or explosive involved in a railgun and just fletchettes,I'm pretty sure it can hold up for a little more than just 450m.
Well there is no explosive charge...but there is a significant amount of heat...
Actual Railgun Firing
The "Fire" you see is generated from friction and air displacement. (interestingly enough, the projectile was clocked at about 2.5k m/s)
Smaller Projectiles may very well have a significant portion of their mass destroyed past a certain point depending on their composition...but I'm too tired and working on another spreadsheet right now to do that complex of math xD
Khanid Logi and Tanker, sometimes AV Heavy or Sniper.

Railguns don't actually shoot things. They use magnetic forces to boost things along a conductive "rail," (in this case the sniper's barrel) at super high speeds. Let Mikasa Mikoto show you how they work: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qWMvG8rWMjA
Notice that electrical charge that's around her? That's her manipulating the magnetic forces around her so she can create an invisible "rail" to fire the coin along. As a side note, the coin does disintegrate at 50m, but I'm not sure if that math is sound.
This is what Wikipedia has to say about railguns: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Railgun

I use the terms "Firing" and "Shooting" because even in Archery, you can "dry fire" and loosing an arrow is often referred to as shooting...as for Biribiri accelerating a projectile using "virtual rails" as an example...yes, that's kind of how it works (assuming esper powers that are discreet from magic)...although notice how even there they show the coin getting extremely hot (not to mention it's an anime, and although the author did at least some of their homework, I don't know how much math they figured for the range on things)...
While I like the anime you've linked...come on...I linked a real railgun...you know...one that actually exists...that is built, that has been used (under test conditions as far as we know)...and is frakking amazing? (and isn't a Gaus/Coilgun it's a Railgun)
Edit:
Another, albiet smaller railgun, firing
Gallery of the smaller home-made railgun this guy did.

Well, we're talking make-believe sci-fi physics anyway, so what the hell does it matter?
If you have this overbearing need to engage infantry in this game at distances well past 450m, you're doing it wrong... Maybe sniping isn't for you. |

Nah, I'm a real man. I like to look my enemy straight in the eye when I kill them. Well, straight in the eye through a high-powered sniper scope from 600m away.

I am an OG Scout Sniper, the true suit of the sniper, the scout, not commando. I went up against the likes of Gem and Zan, i was taught by Atiim and Gem.
And I am saddened by how snipers are now. I can't even use em because they are just so bad. We need a buff. We need it now. Am I the only person who snipes in a logi suit? Oh, and I want my 600m back! The longest kill I've ever made? 599m. Heh, poor sod never saw it coming. Another point of interest. Until an officer variant of Kaalakiota Snipers come out, Proto > Officer/Experimental.
That's cute. My farthest kill was on a Skirmish Match back in the day and it was 927 meters. Yeah that Thale on the MCC who was an Ak0 Sent quit battle, MCC to his MCC. Well I was under mine
I'm Casper the friendly teabagger

Well there is an officer tactical sniper rifle...it is the Balac's Sniper rifle xD
Granted...you're likely to pay upwards of 20million each for them.
