I use 16ga 2.5 inch RMC brass shells as my preferred hunting hull
I normally load 7/8 for preserve birds and 1oz for quail and prairie chicken, with 1 1/8 barely fitting for pheasant.
I truly love the RMC and now own 80-16 ga shells. The first 30 from casey, the last 50 from the new owners. While differ very slightly, both are great quality and reload identically.. Eventually i will get 15 or so 2 3/4 - 16ga for the occasional heavy hunting load
On sealing i go with water-glass, (sodium silicate), but i have determined log term storage of water-glass seal shells does not work well, after a few months they dry up, and shrink more than i like. Oversizing the overshot card is the best way to go as earlier described by wyobirds.
They are expensive, yes, but of all the reloading toys i have picked they remain my favorite by light years.
I have loaded the RMC with both plastic and cardboard wads and have determined the plastic is good for 7/8,but 1oz and above are easier to fit with traditional cardboard
I tried the Magtech, and they were ok, but RMC shells are a step above
