ball
A ball is a round object (usually spherical, but can sometimes be ovoid) with various uses. It is used in ball games, where the play of the game follows the state of the ball as it is hit, kicked or thrown by players. Balls can also be used for simpler activities, such as catch or juggling. Balls made from hard-wearing materials are used in engineering applications to provide very low friction bearings, known as ball bearings. Black-powder weapons use stone and metal balls as projectiles.
Although many types of balls are today made from rubber, this form was unknown outside the Americas until after the voyages of Columbus. The Spanish were the first Europeans to see the bouncing rubber balls (although solid and not inflated) which were employed most notably in the Mesoamerican ballgame. Balls used in various sports in other parts of the world prior to Columbus were made from other materials such as animal bladders or skins, stuffed with various materials.
As balls are one of the most familiar spherical objects to humans, the word "ball" may be used to refer to or describe spherical or near-spherical objects.
"Ball" is used metaphorically sometimes to denote something spherical or spheroid, e.g., armadillos and human beings curl up into a ball, we make a ball with our fist.

Here are 2 spam cans of 440rnd light ball Albanian surplus. Mild steel core and brass case. This stuff is lots of fun to shoot and puts out massive fire balls.

Does anyone have a link to a ballistics chart for the 547 yard (500m) zero for the M1903 Springfield rifle? I believe this zero was achieved using M1 Ball ammo. What is the POI of M1 at 100/200/300 etc?
In WWII there were many M1903s issued to troops (and esp. in the Pacific) I assume w/ M2...
It isn't marked as to maker. The blocks are aluminum. The handles appear to be Lyman. The markings say "450255," The design has a deep hollow base.
Today, I poured a few bullets just to see what came out. They drop at .453 and weigh 254.6 gr.
I'm thinking this is a Minié ball mold for...
