Here is what they messed up:

.243 Winchester
7mm Remington Magnum
.30-06 Springfield
.300 Winchester Short Magnum
.338 Trajectory Tables
.30-378 Weatherby Magnum
.416 Rigby
.50 AE
.50 Muzzleloader 250 grain
.50 Muzzleloader 300 grain
.54 Muzzleloader 275 grain
.54 Muzzleloader 325 grain

This is a link to the page that explains it all http://www.barnesbullets.com/mancorr.html

These bananas would mess up a wet dream!

Cheack out the trim to length they list for the 300 WSM, 1.290", totally impossible!

It looks like it is time for them to cut their losses and recall the book. I would hate to see all these stupid mistakes lead to an injury and a lawsuit.

I am interested to see how they handle all this.

I can't help but wonder if the "person(s)" they hired to write it use to write computer manuals.

I don't see how they can get away without recalling it. There are some pretty major goofs in that thing. I'm glad I found out about this before I bought one.

I have it that the problem lies with the printer of the manual. No amount of proof reading can prevent such mistakes. It's hard to accept but, these days, it may be necessary to print in limited numbers and proof read once again before running off mass quantities for distribution. What a shame for this to have happened.
