Primers cratering is not always a sign of pressure problems.
There are a number of issues that can cause primer cratering like bolt firing pin hole to firing pin clearance, heavy firing pin spring, primers not seated correctly, excessive bolt headspace, soft primer cups and hot loads to name just a few. Lots of others things to look at before one thinks over pressure loads or even loads getting to that stage.
Measuring cartridge cases over their body with an accurate micrometer is another way to keep an eye on pressure signs and if a case is difficult to eject or load then it may be showing pressure signs before a hard primer will crater.
High pressure calibres with the wrong primer will not probably show crater signs before it's pierced and you wear the blast and/or damage your bolt face.
Here is a link to some primer case measurements, especially in Small Rifle Primers you will probably get the idea. Remington 7 1/2 are thick and also quite hard but can even cause problems not igniting if your firing pin strike is on the light side.
http://www.jamescalhoon.com/primers_and_pressure.php Calibres like .204 Ruger, 6.5x47 Lapua and a few are considered High Pressure Calibres. If you use a standard soft primer in a .204R you are asking for trouble and it won't be long before you see a pierced primer during load development.
