25-75 yards and on target quickly for deer? Get a .30-30. Take the buckhorns off and put a ghost ring receiver sight on it. Try the new leverevolution ammo.

You will probably shoot a .30-30 more than a .444 or .45-70 so you will be better with it in a hunting situation. I don't know much about the .35 but it seems to me I see .30-30 ammo around more.

I believe anything besides a .30-30 for what you described is over thinking the question or making the answer more complicated than it needs to be.
