I thought you could use pretty much any centerfire caliber smaller than .30 as a match rifle, and isn't there a category for "foreign service rifles", too?  I shot an SKS a couple of times just 'cause the ammo is cheap, but our range (on the Big Island) only goes out to 200yds; the only time I shot at 600, I used a Garand (with M2 ball, and won, but that another story.....) 

PS  Your link to the rulebook doesn't work for me.

The rules for ammunition are put in place by the rifle range at Puuloa.  Since the range faces towards the ocean there is a clear zone out to sea.  Rounds are trapped by a berm, but stray rounds just might fly over and they don't want any rounds overshooting the safety area out at sea.  something like that.

Updated rules here...

The Saturday practice started off slow due to the need to find and reface our targets. Weather started off overcast with light winds 4-5mph and later became sunny with winds gusting to 15mph. 15 shooters attended, 11 clubmembers and 4 non-members.
