Your Winchester model 1894 was made in 1911.The value of these fine winchesters are getting up there.Depending on the overall original finish remaining on the gun,and if it has any special features(octagon barrel,special wood,takedown version,length of the magazine tube) it could be worth between 750-1900 dollars.I am confused that you say blackpowder in your description thou?While the cartridge was based on 55grs.of black powder.your rifle should be able to handle the smokeless version that is loaded today.I know of many rifles made during that time span that shoot modern loads made today.I would have a qualified gunsmith check the overall condition of your rifle for function and headspace,and ask if it will be able to handle todays modern loads which are kept low in pressure due to the rifles like yours that are out there.
The last reloading manual I have that lists Winchester 450LS powder is the Speer number 8 manual published 1970.

I did some research on my Jukar and they run from about $100 in fair condition to $150 in brand new condition. You have to remember, even though it is a black powder gun, that doesnt mean it is really old.
Nothing, really, but the name of the cartridge. When Winchester introduced the Model 94 in 1894 in the brand new smokeless powder round .30 Winchester caliber, most of the other ammunition on the market was black powder and had names such as 25-20, 44-40, 45-70, etc. These names stood for the caliber (diameter of the bullet) and how many grains of black powder were in the load. The .30 Winchester didn't follow that convention an dpeople didn't know what to expect, so it was not well accepted in the market and sold poorly. In a marketing move, Winchester changed the name to 30-30 (still, of course, a smokeless powder round with identical components as the .30 Winchester) and the guns and ammunition sold quite well.
