Some bullets if they are nato standard or originated in europe. But other wise it can be based in inch or how many round balls you can make by dividing one pound of lead

That last one doesnt even make sense. Do you have any info on that? Im curious now

If the caliber is given in gauge or bore its the pound of lead i think. So a 12 gauge shotgun is the diameter of 1/12pound lead ball

Muzzleloading rifles have their own hunting season, and reenactors go hard.

Not just muzzleloaders shotguns are based on dividing a pound of lead
