I hear different pronunciations of barrel makers. Bartline and Bartlean? Shylen and Shillen? Brux and Brooks? Kreeger and Kryger?

I saw a video on Lee dies and the demonstrator was calling a mandrel a mandrell as in Barbara Mandrell.
I have since changed my pronunciation of that word to the latter. "I need a one inch mandrell for that bushing job".

Sako = "sock-oh"

Tenon = "tehn-en"

Ogive = "oh-jive"

Can I get some of my ex-coworkers from Ferguson, Mo and get their version of these??
Could be a coffee-spitting event!

I've got a couple Oehler (Ay'-ler) 43's and shoot a lot of Lop'-awahh cases.

The German thing does take some getting used to..... the "Canings" back in my home town were spelled Koenig

And how many here knew Bill Calfee (The Best Rimfire Builder . . . . . . IN THE WOOO'LD) is pronounced "Kaffee" ?? (ie calf='kaff')

but the one I get the biggest kick out of (I'm a Finn) is a southerner trying Vihtavuori (Vee'-tha-voory)..... I hear all sorts of stuff but Vite'-a-vour' is most common.

The joy of butchering names Leupold - LOO POLLED. Remember the voice message when calling Leupold years ago?

"Thank you for calling LOO-POLLED. Made right... made here".

I thought it was loop old

It may be to some, but Manfred said that you pronounced HIS last name Loy-pold. Could be what part of Germany he was from. They have a north and south there too.

The popular German cars (bim - murz) bimmers and motorcycles (bee - murz) beemers or beamers built by Bavarian Motor Works. Count the humps in the "m's" in their nick names, 2 for motorcycles, 4 for cars. One hump for each wheel. Annual rallies are Beemerfest and Bimmerfest.
