Can you help me figure out what the heck his is?

Hi all,

I need some help figuring out what the heck this is. I came across it the other day cleaning out an old box of reloading/shooting odds and ends that has been building up over the years as I pick up equipment from buddies getting out of the game, garage sales, and the like.

It is solid and appears to be stainless steel. I first thought maybe some kind of cleaning rod guide but it seems entirely over-engineered for that purpose.

Thanks for any help in advance.

Cheers,

Pete

Looks like the base for a wilson neck sizing die.

I have one also.

It's a decapping base. Can be used with any hand neck sizing die in arbor press or just hammer tap a decapper rod for manual decapping of cases. Several companies made this as well as many home made. Not just Wilson make.

Decapping base, could be one of the brand/makers listed by others.

Thank you all!

That would make sense, I do have a couple of Wilson neck dies and an arbor press though I have never used them.

Looks like I have a new project for this weekend.

Cheers!
