Their pricing structure kept me from ordering.
I bought 20 400-3.25" cases for my Meacham HiWall a year or so back. They are also lathe-bored, but even that 3.25" case won't take enough black to cause any issues.

They seemed to be overreaching the first time I saw their display at a gun show.
The manufacturing process is only good for a niche market that is desperate enough to pay big bucks for oddball or obsolete cartridge cases, but the RCC catalog offered everything. Why go to the expense of setting up for shells costing 4 bucks each when you could pick up a bucket of real ones for free at any rifle range? Setting up to make .308, 9mm, .223, etc, would only add to the already stiff overhead for the oddball shells, to no real customer response whatsoever.
Their samples looked very well done. But a lot of perfectly good products have been the victims of unrealistic business models. Too bad.

Their catalog needed only line drawings of the case head. I'd bet the farm that they weren't tooling up until they got an order, which would explain their rather large minimum-purchase policy.

Purchased some brass from RMC before it was owned by the current operators, .25-20 SS. Good stuff it was. Purchased some brass from the current owners about 3 years ago and it was junk, not even close to SAAMI specs. Returned it with explanation...they kept the brass and the money.
Purchased some from RCC not long after and the first small sample was also not spec. Talked to them and they corrected the error and I purchased 150 cases. What they didn't tell me was that the $1/case cost of the first batch had been jacked up to $3/case.
They can all go rot in a hot place as far as I'm concerned.

I enquired about some 280 nitro express (280 Ross,280 halger magnum, same thing) brass, they wanted a minimum of one hundred cases ordered which when you worked out the exchange rate and postage etc came to almost $2000 Australian. I declined

And they didn’t have them in stock, wanted money before they made them, which they couldn’t give me an estimate on when they could do so. I could understand payment before posting, but not before manufacturing when they felt like it.

Read it again. The .25-20 SS brass was fine, no complaints. Made by the previous owner of RMC.
