The RCBS 30-180-sp, RCBS 30-200-SIL and the Lyman 311644 are too pointy for the tube magazine on your 94. The RCBS 30-180-FN is a good one. It will weigh 190 gr out of wheelweights and slightly engrave on the nose. The gas check and a groove will go into the powder space though. Mine shoots very well and has a large enough meplat to kill well. I don't have the Saeco numbers.

I use a full drop tubed ( 1/16" into neck ) compressed load of Hi Tech's 7383 surplus powder in fully sized RP cases with Rem Large rifle primers. Wheel weight bullet sized .311 with FWFBL lube and Hornady gas check. Nose diameter is about .3005". This gives about 1800 fps. Duplexing this slow powder hurts accuracy, so don't try it to increase velocity.
I don't shoot this past 150 yards. Look up the trajectory table for a jacketed 170 gr at this velocity to get an idea of the trajectory. This bullet weighs 190 gr., so it does a very good job on what it hits.
