    the picture on the box tells the story...310s are hand dies
    the bit LOOKS like a neck die to me.....it has shoulder and skinnier neck inside so would ASSUME its to resize case..unless there is a pin of some sort coming up from other end,in which case it COULD be for projectile seating...having not used 310s before Im JUST BEST GUESSING HERE.

    Early 310 sets came with a range of different dies for each step. It might be a crimper. a play with some .308 cases in the shed should tell.

    I’ve got 5-6 sets of 310 dies, so I’m familiar with them, but I’ve never seen one like this before.
    The sets got the decapper, neck sizer, neck expander, primer and seating die, so I’m guessing that this is an extra.
    Just can’t figure out what it does.
    Not long enough for a loaded round, so I guess it must have something to do with case prep.

    Early 310 sets had up to 6 dies, the last being a separate crimper. Do the threads fit the tool?

    Yep, same thread.
    I assumed Lyman originally used the same thread for everything
