All you need to throw things enormous distances is to have a whole lot of excess strength. Twenty yards is unreasonable for something at a weight of 1xBL, but at a weight of 0.2xBL it's pretty plausible.

I think there's something wrong with the application of your rule of thumb.

Two problems with your math. First is that real world throwing doesn't take 1 second, a 522 yard throw takes about 10 seconds. Second is that muscle force curves drop off with velocity, so that simple rule of thumb does
overstate range.
