Why not trying to do someting using a longer case , of similar volume as the 45 long colt to launch heavier bullets like a .458 500gr bullet? The 45 automag case for exemple? reamers and reloading dies existe and cutting down a 308 case is very easy to form the brass.
That should be more effective.And would look les ridiculus in a standard bolt action. Actualy you should be able to feed from it.
Regarding the barrel, a cut rifled barrel with a 1in 12 " twist should do.

Had a Contender 14" barrel in 45 Win Mag,,it's loaded HOT in factory ammo. Would feed better, too.
But then I built a .458 American [.458 x 2"] on a short action Ruger 77 [open up bolt face, polish feed rails, grind and polish extractor lip, etc] ,,so I am still twidleing in the .45 caliber realm with not much direction. Might bring me back to the little .45 ACP again. Just thinking.
