Dan- These are good loads in the 1886. I have loaded some chamber-only cartridges using the Nosler 210 gr bullet. It works. Both H-4198 and H-4831 work well in the 33 WCF handloads. An article in a 1977 Handloader Magazine cited H-4831 as a good 33 WCF powder with 200 gr jacketed bullets. Very accurate. It also has the advantage of velocity stability in colder weather. With a 200 gr Hornady FP or Hawk 200 gr FP, 33.5 grs of H-4198 produces 1925 FPS in my 1886 TD and 1886 half-magazine rifles.
