IN MY OPINION, no, it wouldn't blow the gun up.
However, the toilet paper would keep the powder compacted at the bottom of the case giving you a more uniform burn.
SEE is poorly understood, but it is generally considered to be a problem with slow burning rifle powders. Unique is a medium burning pistol powder (much faster than even the fastest rifle powder).
There are better powders out there for loading reduced loads. These powders provide much greater powder density than something like Unique: Trail Boss and Accurate 5744 (which is made for this exact purpose). Here is some loading data for 5744: http://www.accuratepowder.com/data/P...20to%20254.pdf

You know the rest. In the books you have read
How the British Regulars fired and fled,
How the farmers gave them ball for ball,
From behind each fence and farmyard wall,
Chasing the redcoats down the lane,
Then crossing the fields to emerge again
Under the trees at the turn of the road,
And only pausing to fire and load.
