Identifying these parts

A somewhat odd request. My friend picked up a bunch of gun stuff a while back and doesn't reload so he had a box of random stuff left that was mostly for reloading. As soon as I started reloading, I got the box. I've put a lot of it to use but there are several pieces that seem like parts of bigger assemblies that I don't have. Can people identify what these items are/belong to?

The brass thingys, they definitely look like something related to plastic shotshell crimping. That big round bushing too, something also for shotshells IIRC. A spacer or better yet, a resizing die for a fired modern shotgun shell?

That tapered pin, maybe, just maybe for shotshells again, but wad seating. Looks like measured off positions? (pounds seating pressure mark offs for plastic wads??)

looks like mostly shotgun related stuff to me.......
 
Brilliant. So a bore guide up top, followed by two MEC shotshell reloading parts. The tapered tube looks like it belongs to the .410 die set but the solid piece, while of the MEC style, doesn't seem to be from that same set. The black cap is MEC and then the brass wad fingers and a chute from a Dillon 550B press. I also have two of the MEC powder/shot bottles, which makes a lot of sense in context.

Thanks for all the info.
