Does this Belong In A Bolt Action Rifle?

In a carbine you can gain almost 500 fps, my 16” Rossi shoots 158 xtp’s at just over 1700 fps, putting easily into the any deer black bear range. You don’t gain much more velocity by going over 16” in barrel length.
 
I had a .357 Mag Rossi lever action. How is it any different in a lever than a bolt action? Let's not forget the .30 M1 Carbine is based on a post WW1 Winchester self-loading rifle cartridge.
I have a Rossi .357 lever, 19" barrel. Love shooting it! A 357 bolt would be nice.
 
My friend had a break barrel single shot in 357, it was deadly accurate and he took a couple deer with it at around 100 yards. They were dead on the spot. I've got a howa 1500 mini in 7.62x39 that weighs 5.4 lbs, I think it would be a great platform for building a 357 bolt gun?
