This isn't Battlefield. Guns don't have a specific range where they're more deadly, in fact every bullet fired gets weaker over distance the moment it leaves the barrel. From there the thing that matters is projectile drag, barrel length, type of rifling, and the gunpowder load.

Don't forget velocity; mass, density, materials, shape and fragmentation characteristics of the projectile!
