While there isn't set point as it gets thinner and thinner 100 km is often used as the edge of earths atmosphere, so I don't think the range will be effected much unless you shot really obliquely.

Unless you have a lot of fuel to burn or ^engines, orbital mechanics will seriously cut into your time on target on most targets though.
