If you taylor a load for the carbine, with just enough to work the action and within pressure limits you went far enough safetly. A medium to slow powder like Blue dot will peak in a longer barrel. The rub comes if you accidently fire one of these in a 4" and you crack the frame or toggle, Roadkill busted a rear toggle link yesterday. Food for thought. Clearly marked reloads are a good idea, but you can always mess up if you make a mistake.
