Loaded 50 at an even 24 gr. of H-110. Figured right in the middle of min and max oughtta be a good start.

After the first shot out of my 629 Classic DX, I ejected the case to have a look. Primer completely flatted.
...hmmm...
Fired 2 more. Primers flat as Kansas.
...hmmm...
Got away from those and shot up a bunch of 240 JHP's over 11 gr. of Unique. No problems.

When I got home, I grabbed my dammit aka bullet puller. 5 different times, pulled bullets and weighed the charges. Dead-nuts 24 grains.
These rounds were loaded old school with a balance scale, trickler, and Lee Hand Press, allowing total attention to detail @ every stage.

Curious.
Beg/borrow a chronograph. Reading primers is a art that by itself is of dubious value. Higher than expected velocity AND flattened primers means something, but "flattened", (which requires a picture posted so the experts can tell if is really flattened), doesn't really mean much.

H110/296 is slow enough that it should be hard to damage your gun. Also, what was your COL? And whose JHP are you using? What primer?
