But generally I'd look at the force going to the path of least resistance,which,IMO would be the primer dent. I would think the greater surface area of the shoulder would be more resistant than the small area of a firing pin strike.

My tests with a Win 70's 26 pound striker spring pushing its near 3 ounce firing pin 9 fps into primed 308 cases set their shoulders back .003" to .007". Pin protusion normal at .060".
