I made a railgun with a range of over 1 megameter but it often needs me to get within 20 kilometers of a super large target to actually engage... Its not normally a problem but the railgun is 10 kilometers long...

How bad is the spread on it? Along with a variety of other reasons, that might be part of the issue.

the spread is very low. the exact value is .0001 degrees. Its muzzle velocity is 386 kilometers per second.

If WolframAlpha isn't leading me astray, that angle means you have an uncertainty radius of about a human-height, at a megameter. Christ.
At that point - are the abstracted targeting sensors and gunlaying mechanics that precise? Because I wouldn't be sure of that, again if I haven't done an interface fail you've got ~ a third of an arc second of spread.
