The Winchester model 1894 you mentioned was 1 of 14,658 made in 1924. "WCF" stands for "Winchester Center Fire" and 30 WCF is the very common 30-30 cartridge. This round was one of the first introduced with smokeless powder in mind and Winchester was still stamping that notice about smokeless powder years after it didn't mater anymore. Yes, it is safe to shoot with modern cartridges
