That doesn't really make sense.  How can it be "down range" if it's still on the aircraft?  IMO the 514nm "down range" is just that; "down range" from the aircraft.  What you're suggesting is something like (for example) "the SDB has 60nm down range capability when dropped from an F-22 at speed and altitude" and then in the small print saying that the F-22 carried it for 55 of those 60.
