Tony,

Looks like you got lucky!

Check the cartridges you shot. I see one on the left has what appears to be the start of head separation. Can't really tell from the pic for sure, but I see a bright ring around it.

Could be nothing but worth a check.

there was only two bits of brass, that where ok after that, the rest the primer pockets were wide open.
i scrapped all the brass, crimped it and thrown it in the bin
