Do you recognize this small spring clip?

[corbinace]

I have seen this before and found it on my clutttered bench, but cannot place what it is for.
Can you??
It was packaged in the small plastic bag with the hex key.

[ReloaderFred]

No, but I have the same package around here somewhere. I've never figured out where it went, either.

The best, and quickest way I can think of to find out what its for is to throw it away.

Before long, you'll realize you need it for whatever it was for and have to buy a new one....

It looks a bit like the case feed spring guide I had on an older Dillon progressive press.

^^^Bingo, that has to be the most bestest answer.

That could very well be. I have purchased many Dillon setups from people wanting to get out of Dillon. I have never personally had a case feed, but someone may have before they sold their lot to me.

I wonder if there is a way to just pretend to throw it away and have the lost part gods smile on us.

Sorry buddy.
It doesn't work that way. You have to play by the rules........

I've had a Dillon 450,550 and own 2 650s and that part doesn't look like the ejector on my presses. Might be for a Square Deal. Don't know about the other Dillon presses

Put it in your “Doo Dadd” drawer!

If you do not have one, you need one!

If the need arises the part will come in handy.

Priming setup for a reloading press? It's not identical, but similar to one I got for my Spar-T press.

Nope. And they punish you if you try. don't ask.

its got to be a hoochadingee for the whatchamacallit's

[DDriller]

The allen wrench goes in the drawer with the other wrenches you don't know what they came with. I've seen a clip similar to that one but I don't remember where.

[Dusty Bannister]

Sort of puts me in mind of an adjustable hook for a powder feed. Lever activated with a beaded pull chain. Too long or too short, just unhook and move to the next bead.

Tough one! I had similar experiences. For my stuff, I write on the bag what it is with a black marker (I've had too many small parts in plastic bags that went unidentified for several years). I'd put the bag in an easy to find place, a drawer that is often opened. or in a "catch all" on my bench. Hopefully you will have a need and Eureka! recognize it BTDT...

That's cheating! I do that sometimes, and I also have a box in my storage labeled "Someplace Safe."

If you ain't cheating, you ain't trying!

Aint that the truth ... Keep that sucker 10 years and you never know ...throw it away and after the trash men leave for the city dump ... you will discover not only what it is for but how valuable they are and how hard they are to replace now .
Happened to me with a little electric charger ...10 years and I couldn't figure out what it charged ...Throwed it away and 3 days later I find ...my Electric Shaver in bottom of bag ...hiding ...
Oh Yeah ... Electric shaver ...I forgot about it ...now that sucker is useless without the charger !

I've tried that, the black marker often comes off about the time you forget what the part is.

My eventual solution was to write in ink on a piece of paper and seal it in the bag. This has worked so far...
