You need to increase your crimp. Common problem with 45 Colt and cast bullets, as they don't usually have a cannelure in which to crimp. Starline brass is thicker than Winchester, which is why you saw the problem only on Winchester brass. You may need to seat the bullets deeper, as it could be that the bullet is contacting the rifling in the derringer when you close its action.
If you have any loaded rounds left, please post pictures. Also, you say the bullets are "plated" and "XTP". Hornady XTP bullets are jacketed, not plated. Looking on the Hornady site, it looks like the heavier XTP bullets have cannelures and the lighter ones do not. If you can't get a decent crimp, you may need to switch to a different bullet.
