No they don't. People put out updates or addendums to manuals all the time.
Hell if Knight can put out new info for BH209 limits then it must be pretty simple considering how few people they have. Print shops have those files in house usually. It would take a typesetter a couple minutes to make the change for the printers.
But to further my point. CVA strictly forbids using 3FG of any kind (verified by their tech) and bullets over 300grs in sabots too. Tell them you used either and they can void your warranty. A tech told me this more than once.
Its also about time they changed the 150gr max for BH209. They mention it in the manual but don't state the 120gr max by Western. If they can update a manual include BH209 plug info they can sure clearly state it has a different max powder rating too.
BTW i LOVE this tidbit. I never knew you needed to clean between EVERY sabot load to prevent them from getting hard to load....This is a riot.
However, most sabots leave a heavy plastic residue in the bore requiring cleaning of the bore after every shot. This plastic residue along with the extremely tight fit of most sabots makes loading for quick follow-up shots very difficult.
I guess this is something unique to CVA since none of my other rifles mention it nor have i ever found a NEED to remove sabot residue between shots. Maybe its those WhiteHots they are pushing.
