Smile ok its getting re barreled

thanks for every bodys input ,i have now made my mind up and its a rebarrel job now.next hurdle is what little power house caliber should i use?what can this little action take,iam after something exotic or different,something to get all the guys down the range talking.i reload and cast my own bullets but would like to use common or easy to get hold of cases to make my own.iam thinking of the rimmed big bore pistol cartridges or maybe a herret or similar.most ranges are short to medium(30-100 yards a long shot being 150 yards max) more often under 100.the type of game is thin skinned wild dogs ,goats ,pigs ,fallow & maybe the odd red deer.i have been using a h&r topper in 3030 and its hard to beat.all my friends have all bought big rifles and magnums and i think they are getting to much penetration and use scopes with too high a magnification.i like the look of 357 herrett ,357 max,45 silhouette,475 linebaugh any thoughts .
