Alliant Techsystems (ATK) is the parent corporation that owns Alliant Powder, which was derived from the old Hercules Powder Company. Hercules was developed after the government- mandated breakup of DuPont in the early 1900s. One of the oldest and most beloved Hercules powders, particularly to sixgun handloaders, was called Unique. The reason that I say "was", is that Alliant has recently made a slight change to the formula to make Unique cleaner burning than its older namesake. (Alliant Techsystems (ATK) owns Federal, Speer, CCI, RCBS, Alliant Powder, and a few other big-name brands.) so ATK owns alliant, which was the hercules (which used to be red dot, blue dot, bullseye, reloder, unique, herco, etc lines now under alliant)
