I DELETED MY OTHER POST CUZ I DID IT BY INSPECTION AND WAS WRONG AF LOL

Δy=50
u(x)=1060cos(0)=1060m/s
u(y)=0

Δy=u(y)+0.5a(y)*t^2
Δy=0+4.9t^2
t=3.19s

Δx=u(x)*t
Δx=1060*3.19
Δx=3386.01m

Lets Divide this trajectory in T1 and T2 where T1= time from start to max height and T2 is from max height to rest.

u(x)=1060cos(45)=749.53m/s
u(y)=749.53m/s


T1:
v(y)=u(y)+a(y)*t
0=749.53-9.8*t
t=749.53/9.8
t=76.48s

Δy=(u(y)*t+0.5*a(y)*t^2)+50
Δy=(749.53*76.48-4.9*(76.48)^2)+50
Δy=28663.02+50
Δy=28713.02m

T2:
Δy=0.5*a(y)*t^2
28713.02=4.9*t^2
t=75.55s

----------
T.O.F=153.03s
Δx=u(x)*t
Δx=114700.58m <---- THIS SEEMS COMPLETELY OFF, LEMME KNOW IF I'VE MADE A MISTAKE

Testing with the u^2 sin2theta / g formula it gets the same answer as you so I think it's right.

Yeah couldn't see any mistake..but that number looks unreasonable
But if you think about it... 749.5 metres per second horizontally is heaps and since it's 45 degrees it'll have a sizeable vertical displacement too, making the TOF larger.
