Edson Range at Pendleton is calibrated in meters, and Parris Island is in yards. It takes 4 fewer points to get the various grades on the metric course (186-206 is Marksman, 207-216 is Sharpshooter, 217 and up is expert). 250 is still a possible (and a REE-KROOT supposedly got one at Edson in 1988).
