I hate metrics, could someone tell me how a 3/16, 7/16 and 1/2 inch ball compares to 8, 10 and 11 mm balls in size? Are they the same?

[@simpleshot]

1/4" = 6.3mm
5/16" = 8mm
3/8" = 9.5mm
7/16" = 11mm
1/2" = 12.5mm

I prefer to use steel but lead can be good because it's easy to make your own ammo and I do enjoy making lead balls ✌👍

[@simpleshot]
