IIRC Ft. Dix had 350yds
Also several other courses were used at Bragg, Benning and also while OCONUS. (if another unit was not hogging the range) sometimes we just joined them.
Those huge units really took up the time on the ranges.
Heck, there were times we needed to travel just to get on a range.
Yeah we used holdover but it worked damned well and really did help for when you needed to engage at distances past what the sights allowed.
I can still recall getting the very first XM16E2 in our unit, damn there was a lot of rifle envy.
I got the first M16A2 in our unit when they were being fielded as well, the sights were nice and the bbl was so much better.
I may not have always gotten dibbs on the newest gear, I did however always seem to get the newest or best condition rifles.
