I did some testing and the stats given here for the multiplier on Peacemaker seem to be incorrect from what I can tell. I believe the correct formula should be:

D_k = 125 * (1 + 1.5 * min(1, k / 20)) * (0.6 * PS + 0.4 * BD)

Where D_k is the damage of bullets number 2k, 2k+1, k is the amount of consecutive 'clicks' (each click being two shots), PS is the Power Strength as a multiplier, and BD the Pistol Base Damage as a multiplier. For example, with Hornet Strike PS = 1, BD = 3.2.

Essentially, this means the PM multiplier consists of three-fifths Power Strength and two-fifths Base Damage, with an additional multiplier linearly scaling from 1.0x to 2.5x over 20 clicks / 40 shots.

The difference between this and the current formula on the page is the fact that there is no 'initial multiplier' (do note that 1.5 * 2.5 = 3.75) as misleadingly given in the warframe abilities menu ingame, as well as the relation with Base Damage mods being explicit. The base damage of the ability remains the same (125).

The data used to derive this was obtained by hitting a level 110 Charger in the simulacrum. Crucially, the base damage at uncharged without mods is 133, which is correct accounting for the 1.0625 (= 0.75 * 1 + 0.25 * 1.25) IPS multiplier given by Infested health, but does not mesh with the stated 1.5x base modifier. A screenshot of this data has been added as attachment. I would appreciate if anyone could confirm this.
