Default Max Ch. Pressures, Carbine vs. Pistol

I'm looking into the reloading potentials of the cartridges to decide whether or not to go .44 mag or 45-70 and have ran across a question. I know that the marlin 94 actions are strong...but these loads from Garrett and Buffalo Bore say to use only in "Dan Wesson, Ruger double actions...etc" There's never mention of the marlin chambers. Are the Marlins actions so stronger than these heavy built revolvers? Same? or no where close. Most of my loads will be plinking/target loads but I want to know what my ceiling is so I can get a better idea of just hot I can load that ole .44 mag...and then see how that stacks up against the 45-70

(I do know the 45-70 is far and away 'more gun'.)
