It looks like a custom size die for a Lyman/RCBS lubri-sizer except for not having a groove for the retaining set screw. without any other information or dimensions that is all I can think of.
 
That a sizing die for the mx3 series bullets. Specifically the mx3-32s.

Egan made several molds with the long tapered multi lube grooved bullets. They were designed to fit the leade angle in the custom and common cartridges. 1*, 1.5*. 2* etc.

This egan mx3-30 us does extremely well in my 308w. I do have the correct t-30 sizing die for this mold.

I've had an Eagan .30 caliber taper die for 25-30 years. These dies appear to be in demand. You might check cast bullet sites if you have no use for the die and choose to sell.
 
How can you use a bullet that's .012 oversize at the base?

I don't think you can (if you want good accuracy) but I'm not sure I understand your question. As an example, the Lyman #314299 design is .30 caliber and the unsized bullet base will measure about .312" to .314". I generally size these in a .311" die.
 
Things like Schuetzen rifles come to mind. It's a plain based bullet oversized 303 british or 8mm rifles would eat like candy.

308/american calibers use .311 cast bullets all the time.
