    Loverin boolit ATTN Grammar Nazis!!

    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???

    I always went with Lou Verrin.

    However you decide to pronounce it is groovy with me.....
    You will learn far more at the casting, loading, and shooting bench than you ever will at a computer bench.

    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.
