Just FYI.
There have been design standards for military primers and ammunition for a long time.
When primer performance is measured in the test stand or in the closed bomb, they are inserted to specifications for the test to meet standards.
Below is a clip of the Remington and Olin primer designs.
I have seen others go as little as 0.002" - 0.004", but most are 0.002" to 0.006" reconsolidation, or what is being called "crush" on the forums.
