I was having some of the same problems. My cure was a Lee factory crimp die. During set up, I use a strong magnifying glass and look at the end of the case to see if there is any outward bell at the case mouth after the bullet is seated and crimped. If there is, I just adjust the die a little bit at a time, reinsert the case and check it again.

I also check all of my reloads with a case gauge. Especially the ammo I use in a match.

As far as plated ammo, I’ve shot thousands of rounds of xtreme bullets through different guns. I load to the velocities listed for lead bullets in the manual.
