Since it's an iron ball that weights 0.52kg that gives us a roughly 25mm diameter given that iron is about 7.8g/cc.

200m/s was the velocity I used to get 3d+2. That is a bit too high for my taste but if we assume that figure in the book was correct for a normal density bullet and they forget to half it then I suppose it works, in so far as my model is right in the first place.

Hopefully we'll be able to find source that covers how fast it's muzzle velocity was to get more concrete data.
