Use the railgun :)

Seriously though the RL isn't good as a very long range weapon unless your
target is standing still. It's good for medium range really - it kind of
takes over where the SSG leaves off, if you see what I mean. Try to
anticipate your target's movements and hit 'em where they *will* be rather
than where they are now. Also if you have plenty of armour you can use it at
close range ;)
