How would you adjust (if at all) a reload recipe for a pistol if the load was going to be used in a carbine ? 20" asking for 357 and 44 mag
Use the slowest burning powder listed in both and work backwards through the burn rates until you find a powder that's fast enough for your handguns and slow enough for your carbines. It's a game of compromises finding one load for both. In a 20" .357Mag carbine barrel, powders in the range of H110/W296, IMR 4227, Acc. No.9 and Alliant 2400 are going to give the best performance but if your revolver has less than a 4" barrel you're more likely to end up with unburned powder and poor performance from that list.

Yup this exactly. There’s not many jobs Unique can’t get done but for a specific application, use a specific recipe. I guess it depends on what your goal is.Unique will get the job done in a carbine or rifle barrel, but if you are looking for max velocity... a slower powder is your best bet.
