I think you will enjoy your little care package I hope to see a video of it as well. Who knows a group of 320gr .44s might find their way down Kentucky way
 
Those primer don't look bad at all. I feel that 100% loading density is always safe with H110. I'd feel the same about a surplus lot of powder after I shot a few with the same load of H110 and compared velocities.

I've even ventured up to 27gr of H110 and a 300gr cast in a 44. Tweren't in a Blackhawk though.

Try backing down the powder charge and seating to the deeper crimp groove and see what you get for grins. I haven't done much experimenting with it. I'm of the opinion that seating long should be better for accuracy since there is less of a tendency for the bullet to "lay" in the chamber. In a perfect world to me, all my rounds would require a bit of thumb pressure to fully chamber and therefore be better aligned. The next experiment is segregating some brass and trying to open up a sizer to neck size only my 44 brass to help with alignment.
