Some of these old actions can be "soft"..However if you just shoot pre-WW1 classic non-magnum cartridges in it, you will never get to know if it was a "soft action" or not...7x57, 8x64 etc.

If your not convinced by 100 years use , a lot of which was in military service, firing thousands of cartridges with no ill effect you can send it to me . This is the same action that routinely safely handles magnum cartridges with pressures well in excess of what your contemplating. You can always get it tested for hardness and remember that to hard is not a good thing either ,they were only case hardened .
