As you suspect, cratering is a very common sign of a poor firing pin to bolt hole fit. In some rare instances the primer makers get soft sheets of brass stock and primers made from that can crater more easily. (It can also be due to a weak firing pin spring in bolt rifles.)

Try a different brand of primers and see if that doesn't stop it.
