1878 is right, hammerless actions are okay for mid and long range. However, I don't know if has to be an American action or not. One never sees Martini on the line. Nor, for that matter, a Ruger #1. So there are some exclusionary rules but a requirement for hammers is not one of them.

I have got a copy of the rule book somewhere...
