The RMC brass takes a wad equal to its gauge ie: 10 gauge brass loads with 10 gauge wads (extruded brass uses one gauge larger wad). If your shooting open chokes use less wads. With full chokes the constriction will catch the wads and slow them so they will not blow the pattern. Talk to Craig Smith at Circle Fly wads, he has a world of experience and is a great guy to ask. You will want to go with a gauge larger over shot card. I have used water glass to seal the shells, but now use a hot glue gun to seal the over shot card because it is ready to go in your bag of shells as soon as you put the glue gun up. I use a MEC 600 Jr to deprime and prime RMC brass. The primer holes are tight and if you are depriming and priming by hand this is what I have done. Take a 2x4 and and drill a 7/8 hole 1/4" deep and then drill a hole all the way through a little larger than the primer. Place the shell in the hole and drive the primer out with a punch and hammer. Be careful not to bugger up your brass. To seat the primer I used a vice.
