I too have noticed the move to reduce loads (liability) over the years. It is better to have 10,000 loaders shoot under max, than to have one old gun go kaboom.
IIRC Unique was reformulated in the early '70s (single based to double based?). Loads that shot fine for years started flattening primers, and were hard to eject. I stopped using Unique for 5 years. This could explain the sharp drop in max loads for '70 to '74.
