Cliff notes of the competition rules? (Guns, bullets, optics, equipment?)

Also I wonder why no other countries, like the finns or swede's

.308 or .223 only, without checking the bullet rules can't say exactly but 155.5 for .308 and maybe 85 for .223, could be 90 now although I doubt if anyone would be shooting the .223 to be honest. All slow fire prone with iron sights. Shot over 300m - 900m, both individual and team events.

Finn's and Swedes don't have any national competition in that format as far as I know so wouldn't have individuals or teams to compete. The blue ribbon event is the Palma for teams of 15 after the Individual long range championship and the South African Nationals.

The Worlds and Palma are fired every four years (Corvid notwithstanding) and cycle around the major competing nations, USA, UK, NZ, AUS, Canada and SA.

Edited to add, as SWC123 below, teams of 16 not 15. I was thinking of the 15 shots for record at each of the three yardages, or meterage's in this case
