Nominally, whatever size the bore of the musket is, although musket balls were usually considerably smaller than the bore in order to reduce powder fouling in the bore. The British Brown Bess was .75 calibre (but fired a .71 calibre musket ball), the French Charleville musket was .69 calibre (these were also commonly used by what would become the United States during the American Revolution), the smoothbore Springfield Muskets were .69 calibre, while the rifled muskets were .58 calibre... just to put a few out there.

To reload a flintlock musket, first, ensure the weapon is pointed in a safe direction.

How fast did a bullet fire from a musket in 1775?
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.
Would a solid steel ball drop faster than a solid steel ball?
Yes and no. When it 'falls' out of a cannon/musket, the solid steel ball will fall at an significantly speedier rate than that of a conventional solid steel ball not emerging from a cannon/musket housing. But sometimes the other solid steel ball will drop slightly faster than the solid steel ball as well. No one knows why really. It's a mystery. :-) (don't know what this question was supposed to mean but that was fun, lol)
