Not that "looks" matter but I do prefer the look of the TCFP and they punch fine holes in paper.
My 1894C will feed .38 Special semiwadcutters. Are you sure yours won't?

The only reason it won't feed semiwadcutters in .357 Mag cases is that they exceed the max OAL because I use the Lyman 358429 which is very long from the crimp groove forward. I intend to try (but haven't yet) some 158 gr. SWC's in .357 brass. I think they'll work.
