Pick your best load, center up the group to match the crosshairs and enjoy hunting and taking game with it.
Since you have it spotless, a little fouling may actually help accuracy some.
Save the rebarrel money and buy a bolt action varmint or target rifle, maybe something in an efficient economical to load cartridge if you want to shoot tiny groups on paper or plinking.
Maybe something in a bolt action with a proven flatter shooting cartridge if you want to hunt out there beyond what the .358 will reach comfortably.
You've already got the biggest accuracy enhancer for any centerfire rifle in decent condition working for you in your handloading gear.
I'd just enjoy the .358 as is and dont think theres enough juice left after what youve done to justify more squeeze.
Your mileage may vary and this advice is worth exactly what you paid to read it.
Good Luck
