Pedersoli 45/70 Double question

[Terbltim]

I recently got to handle a Pedersoli 45/70 Double rifle (Kodiak?) at a gunshow.
The experience haunts me.
I'd like to know if anyone here has knowledge or personal information about this gun and the use of hi-power ammunition like the stuff often used in the Marlin or Browning rifles?
No need for specific load data, I can figure it out if you can say the weight of the bullet, the [known] velocity.
I've shot hi-power 45/70 in the Marlin for many years and the bullet weight & velocity will give me the info I crave.
Thanks.

If I remeber right they were rated for 28000 psi or trap door loads only!

Cecil is right.The doubles won't take the pressures the marlin will.   Those doubles sure feel good though, don't they.

Thanks guys,
Its tempting still. That Pedersoli did feel nice.
At 28,000 CUP you can apply a lot of smack-down to a beast with properly assembled loads.
Hmmm.

BTW, Marlin has always claimed that their model 1895 is "rated" for SAAMI specs only, (28,000 CUP) but we all know better.
