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.

I shot that exact load a bunch and certainly don't consider it to be over-pressure. It is certainly not a mouse-fart load for the owners of pretty perl-handled revolvers, but it is safe.
H110/296 shows a little bit of temp sensitivity. When I was Chrono'ing back in Feb (40*F), CCI350 primers produced much tighter spreads than Wolf LP. At that point I decided to stick with magnum primers, either CCI350 or Wolf LP Magnum. I can believe that folks in warmer areas (West Texas makes Hell look good) could use standard primers just fine with the slower powders.
