Reloading manual mistake

My Accurate Arms reloading manual lists a starting load for the 44special with a 245 gr bullet at 19.7 gr of AA # 9 ( page 122 ). Most of us would instantly know this is wrong, but what about the new guy. Ledball

  Wow! Mine says 9.7 and the cover has "Number One" on it. Copyright 1994 inside.

I always look through 3 or 4 sources make sure all the data lines up before loading something new.

Been loading for a 10 G hammer shotgun, put all the basic data on a single sheet of paper found one load that would blow  her for sure. Unique charge weights recommended using Red Dot Powder same shot load. Two powders way apart on relative quickness charts

Loading manual mistakes aren't new. Ever since they've offered load data, they've made mistakes. I've got old Ideal manuals with glaring mistakes too! Pays to double check!
