As I read the book, the 1894 should be able to handle either of these cartridges. I'd have a good gunsmith check it over to see if there is something worn in the ejector mechanism. Sometimes a particular rifle just doesn't like certain brands of ammunition, so you might want to try a box made by a different manufacturer.
No, you cannot. The .38 Special can be fired out of .357 Magnum revolver (but not automatics or lever action rifles), however.
No. 357 SIG and 357 Magnum are two very different cartridges. You can use .38 Special in a .357 magnum gun, but not 357 SIG Adding to the above, the compatibility of .38 Special and .357 Magnum applies only to revolvers. You cannot cycle .38 Special in a magazine fed .357 Magnum lever action or semi automatic.
