What mains voltage are you using in you calculations? I used 230VAC.

You have point about the ESR of the capacitor reducing the current, then there's any inductance in the line which should also help.
Actually I scaled from your 650A.

I would point out however that your 230V line can easily surge to 400V peak. That is only 10% variation (considered normal) and 10% surge, hence most universal PFC circuits running a 400V rail.
