I've shot lots of Xtreme plated bullets out of revolvers and semi-autos and the only time I've had leading problems I found I was cutting or scrapping the plating off. Maybe your taper crimp is cutting through. Pull a bullet and see what it looks like. Their SWC or RNFP bullet has no crimp band and I've got to be careful not to roll crimp right through the plating.
I'm holding off ordering more of their plated revolver bullets. Without the crimp band and a good roll crimp my stouter mag loads seem to be dirtier than when I use a coated SWC with a good roll crimp. I think I'm getting better powder burn with that roll crimp.
Love their plated semi-auto bullets.
