Most guys at the camp in MS have the 45-70 and like it. Conveninent if you happen to forget your bullets at the house or in the truck.
The 444 has better ballistics but no one that I hunt with uses it.
That being said, I bought the .35 Whelen--I know, counterintuitive--because the ballistics are amazing for a 200 grain load and I'm pretty anal about packing my stuff for the camp.
Also, rumors on the OB that the Whelen may be legal in LA next season.

With comparable loads yes but with Hornady's new 250gr leverevolutions hitting the market soon i may not even have to take out the .270
I haven't seen any data yet but wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't make the .45-70 a 200yd+ gun.
