What size is a musket ball?
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.

Lead.

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)

How much does a musket ball weigh?
Your standard long land pattern brown bess musket (used by the british) was one of the heavier muskets weighed 10 lbs and was 5 foot 4 inches long. Which would make the the thing very cumbersome to carry around, thats why is was replaced by the other patterns but also all that length and weight added to the accuracy and power. It fired a .75 caliber musket ball!
