Were they really?

Kevin I have one of those 10# rifles with a 3# trigger lets run that test

The old way of lead hardness testing was done using a known pure sample of lead and a ball bearing or small round object squeezed between a known and unknown sample. it's a lot more accurate than a $100. spring loaded tester
As far as the modern technology goes, I'm not as afraid of it as I am of the latest bunch of Democrats that got into office this last run and where this Country is heading.

Hey Kurt, nice rifles.
On lead testing I was talking about a electronic hand held tester that tells you by a digital scan what exactly the lead, tin, antimony and hardness are in a bullet. It’s a heck of a lot more accurate than anything used in the past.

Also remember that the Remington Creedmoor rifle had the 5 groove rifling in their barrels and in 44-100 caliber.

Get a Rolling block action with a 3 pound trigger pull, put a 5 groove barrel on it chambered in 44-100 all under 10 pounds and let’s see someone outshoot Henry Fulton’s score at 1000yards while in the Fulton position. Doubt it will happen or anyone would try.
I couldn’t get the rifle to lay flat enough across my beer belly, of course it might give it enough elevation to hit 1000. I don’t know.

I do know this, my next rifle will be a 44-100 for paper patch only. I’m thinking of a Hepburn from DZ.
