Some 1886 .33's will not feed ammo loaded with the 200 Hornady FTX bullet, because the cartridge is so tapered the tip can end up wedged between the rim and the magazine tube of the round in front. This can be easily solved by filing off the plastic tip down to the beginning of the jacket.
The same thing can be done with the soft-point of 210 Nosler Partitions, which results in just about a 200-grain bullet. The front core of Partitions is softer than in most cup-and-core bullets, so expands fine.
Woodleigh makes a bonded, flat-nose 200-grain specifically for the .33. It's pricey but really shoots well.
I've found it a far easier to neck down Starline .40-65 cases than any brand of .45-70's.
