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?

Howdy, dla.
OAL was 1.61".
Bullet was 240 gr. Hornady XTP.
CCI magnum LP primers.
By "flattened", I mean the primer edges became SHARP corners. No rollover at the edges whatsoever. Squashed as flat as they could get. For a picture, you can look in Lyman's 48th ed. manual on pg. 61, if you should happen to have a copy. I'm afraid I don't have a digital camera. I'll definately see if I can borrow a chronograph. Great idea.
Thank you very much for your interest, everybody. I can never have too much help.
My apologies to the OP for the inadvertant thread hijack.
