Hank -- these weren't current crap, but "back in the day." Some of the targets were at 300 meters, and I hit a couple at 350 meters. 300 meters is better than 328 yards. I hit them squarely, centered vertically and horizontally. The targets were 1.5 meters square; I used an M-16A1 rifle, 5.56mm, battled zeroed to 100 meters, no optical sights. I did the same thing with both the M-1 and the M-14. I fired the US Carbine, caliber .30, M-1, at out to 200 meters with the same result, the target was 1 meter square, same deal on the sights. Granted, the ranges for all of these varied from 25 meters out to "long"; nonetheless I hit everything I aimed at with the rifles except for four at 350 meters, where I shot right (wind) but was still on target.
