your 94 will most likely do it's best with 379 or 380 cast boolits.
i use 379 in my 375 wins.
if you are gonna use black you fill the case enough to put a bit of compression on the powder when you seat the bullet.

The 38 WCF is the 38-40 Winchester round.

Yes, 32 WCF = 32-20. 32 WS = 32 Winchester Special.
