So then the old Hercules Unique and the new Alliant Unique really ARE the same charge weight for charge weight? Seriously? They have actually reduced the recommended charge weights THAT much over the last 25 years?

REALLY? They actually used to recommend charges that were 33% higher - or they've reduced them 25% - whichever way you want to look at it? That absolutely floors me!

To my way of thinking that pretty much means that the current "max" charge recommendations don't really mean diddly squat. Either that or the charges they used to recommend were totally unsafe!
