I think the old rule to check at least three sources of load data and start with the lowest load among the sources is a good one to follow.

I only have a 1 lb jar of Clays rather than a jug, but like Rlc223, mine says 155 grain bullet. A 230 grain bullet would make for a lot more pressure. It also gives a 4.6 grain load for .44 Special with a 165 grain bullet, and the six looks a little bit like an 8. So I think this is just a case of not looking very closely. The details can be critical, as the OP found out.
