Interesting, 33win was introduced in 1902 for the model 86. Discontinued in 1936.

There's no way the .33 Winchester would fit into the model 1894. The 45-70 rim diameter is too big for the action. The cartridge was used mainly in the 1886 & to
a lesser extent in the model 1895 rifles.
What he said. The .33 wouldn't even function in an 1894 Winchester. It was introduced at the same time as the .32 Winchester Special around 1902 but not a catalogue item til 1903 I think. So not an 1894 in .32 WS either unless rebarreled or a rechambered .32/40.
