I would have to vote against the 25-35 for deer, as much as I love my 1894 saddlr ring carbine. It is underpowered. It will kill - my biggest buck to date fell to the rifle, but I lost a deer that I felt was well hit. It was just a slightly brushy, somewhat angling shot at 35 yards that I directed to the front shoulder. My best guess is that the bullet deflected of the shoulder blade (or deer equivalent) rather than penetrating in to vitals. There just isn't enough oomph for other than simple shots - and no matter how we try, there is always a sub-optimal shot we cannot refuse.

If you want a .25 rimmed that does cut the mustard, how about the 6.5x53R? W.D.M. Bell seemed to think very highly of it.
