Max powder charges sometimes get reduced for lot to lot consistency reasons, or known issues with some firearms.

The only way to do a safe load workup is to start at the starting charge and work your way up looking for pressure signs. IMR powders are generally very consistent lot to lot, but I wouldn't bet on the variation over 3 decades.
