Hey grammar Nazis! Gimme a lesson here. I was lookin a Loverin boolit a second ago and got curious.

Is it "Lover-in" or is it "Luh-Verin" or maybe "Low-Verin"

How you pronounce that???

You should ask Bad Water Bill. If I'm not mistaken they graduated from High school together.

I attended the NRA Convention back in the early '70s or so in Portland, Oregon. Had a "press pass" because I was a published photographer (fishing pictures for a guy I worked with who wrote fishing articles for a NW magazine for California, Oregon and Washington) and I went to a "no host bar" for the "press". All the greats were there; Askins, Cooper, Jordan, Skelton, Keith, etc. and George Nonte. I had a bit of a conversation with Nonte about reloading and we discussed cast rifle bullets. He pronounced it "Love- urn" and I've used that pronunciation ever since. I've no idea if that's right and really don't care.....it's the way I'll pronounce it.
