Musket balls were typically made of lead and usually weighed between 0.5 to 1 ounce (approximately 14 to 28 grams). The exact weight could vary based on the type of musket and its caliber. For example, a .69 caliber musket ball would weigh around 1 ounce, while smaller calibers would weigh less. The lead used in musket balls was often cast in molds to achieve uniformity.
Lead.
In 1775, a musket typically fired a lead ball at speeds ranging from 900 to 1,200 feet per second (about 275 to 365 meters per second). The exact velocity could vary based on factors such as the type of musket, the caliber of the ball, and the amount of gunpowder used. Muskets of that era were smoothbore firearms, which affected accuracy and range compared to later rifled firearms.
A musket ball typically weighs between 0.5 to 1 ounce, depending on its caliber. For instance, a .69 caliber musket ball weighs approximately 1 ounce (or about 28 grams), while smaller calibers may weigh less. The weight can vary slightly based on the specific design and material used in the production of the ball.
The rifled musket was invented and sold to the US Army in 1861. The rifle ball was invented by French inventor Claude-Ã?tienne Minie.
The Chinese are credited with the invention of the musket. The musket was a later form of a weapon known as the hand cannon.
Lead.
Waiter, there's a musket ball in my soup! That big oak tree in the town square still has an exposed musket ball in it's trunk.
A musket fires small metal balls (back then made of lead) called musket balls (simple enough:)
Precursors to the shotgun, such as the musket, were widely used by armies in the 17th century. they would use small pellets as aposed to one lead ball. often for bird hunting much like today.
They were made of lead

Usually not. Lead projectiles from a musket are low velocity and usually retain their mass after impact. If they contact bone, they can fracture and leave lead particles.
The hole in a lead musket ball, often referred to as a "hollow point," was designed to enhance the bullet's expansion upon impact, increasing its stopping power and lethality. This design allows the bullet to create a larger wound channel, potentially incapacitating the target more effectively. Additionally, the hole can help reduce the weight of the projectile, allowing for better ballistics and easier loading in muskets.
