Interesting.
This James Calhoun article disagrees, putting large rifle as the thickest. At the same time, he makes them so thick I believe his numbers are actually the difference between the inside and outside diameters of the cup sides and not an actual bottom thickness, so I don't put much faith in them.
The drawings at the end of this report include one large rifle and one small rifle primer as well as a bunch of specialized ones. It certainly makes the specs look a lot tighter, at least for military gear.
