It's time to play... What The Heck is This?

I've been cleaning off the reloading bench, upending mystery boxes full of Stuff I've skwerreled away over the past 35 years...

I found this in an old plastic Speer bullet box... I have no idea what it goes to, but I know as soon as I throw it out, I'll find out it was essential to some reloading function. It's a inside and outside threaded rod, in the box were 4 nylon headed set screws, and 2 roll pins. It's too big to be a decap rod.

Any ideas?

I'm going with, "steel of some kind."

Well, so far, your answer is the closest, besides Fairlane's observations.

I don't regularly pick up weird stuff... and I don't have a bunch of specialized equipment. I have a RCBS single-stage press, a Hornady ProJector, a Pacific trimmer. No die set takes anything that big... I checked. I had a MEC Sizemaster 12ga loader, but I probably would have had that in the MEC junk box... I am actually quite organized.
 
The nylon tipped screws look like Aero Precision's tension set screws used in their lowers. They reduce the slop between the upper and lower receiver.
But that's just a guess as to what you have.
