Uberti/Cimarron 45-70 pressure

[Boe]

I have an Uberti/Cimarron 45-70 30" barrel 1885 high wall. Does anyone know If I am limited to smokeless loads with pressures intended for older trapdoor guns, or can the gun be fired with higher pressure ammo such as the loads for the marlin levers or ruger #1. Thanks for any info.
