We used to skip buckshot off the water at our lake house in the winter when nobody was around. There were several miles of open water in the direction we shot. The pellets made two or three skips out to a range of what seemed to be about 400-500 yards. I never tried skipping rifle bullets. I have watched ricocheted tracers go quite a distance.
