Okay one of my pet peeves is reenactors stuffing thier Cartridge Box with more than 40 rounds. They do this by making too small thier paper cartridges. I have always made mine the proper size, but recently I been doing more living history than reenacting. I decided to fill my cartridge box with true period ammunition to show what the soldier would really be hauling around. I have a few original pieces of ammunition to also hand to spectators. That said.....
What is the weight of a .68 ball. and the weight of a .32 ball. (I use a smoothbore) I have no scales to work with so I thought I'd ask.
Along with my pet peeve of having only 40 rounds, I also dislike units not falling back or covering by section to reload thier tins from the bottom to the top. Or the pulling out of units to resupply. What is your thoughts on that subject too?
