Do Wolf primers flatten easier than others?

I was trying some new loads today, and used Wolf brand large rifle primers for the first time. I was surprised to see considerable flattening, even with starting loads. There were no signs of excess pressure (other than the primer flattening) and the velocity was where it was supposed to be, so I wasn't too concerned.

Anyone else seeing this with Wolf primers?

Work about the same for me. Never noticed any additional primer signs.
