One of my rifles, a 9.3x62 has flattened primers from every firing. The cases are Sellier & Bellott, and the primers were hard to seat right from the beginning. However the bolt lift is fine and the measurement at the web is fine too. I found out later that S&B brass seems to flatten primers pretty easily. SO yes, flattened primers are not an adequate indicator of excess pressure.
If it's not wood and blued steel, it's not one of mine
