Iron did flatten here at the Castillo
"The hardness of iron means they don't flatten out like a lead ball would."
The Castillo De San Marcos, here in Saint Augustine, Florida underwent a few sieges during its time - and it is made out of coquina stone. When it was hit by the iron cannonballs, they would often bounce off the walls, or indeed, flatten out as the stone absorbed the hits.
