This entry from an old German catalog appeared on another site and I really like the names for the tools! Anyone have a favorite kugelformen?

kugel (obviously) in German is 'ball'.  I love Leinenkugel beer ( (You need to Login or Register to view media files and links))

That's why you have to be really careful of that kugelabschneider!

Ballards may be weaker,
but they sure are neater!

I'd love to know how the rack of bullets worked? It appears to be a way to dip lube them, but unlike pan lubing where you leave them in until cooled, I don't think the rack would stay in the lube until cool? 
Appears that maybe it was used to dip bullets, and then pull them out to drain?

Kugelformen -- They didn't actually cast many bullets themselves, the old Germans, but mostly bought them by the kilo from manufacturers.  There were literally hundreds of options for bullets.
