The cannon ball posts should be in the medieval India thread. Its fascinating as to how they cast the cannon balls. Did they make them in the molds and how did they ensure that the gates and sprues were machined of to provide the perfect shape? Fascinating stuff. Looks like India was adequate in production of solid shot during Mughal times. It was the bursting charge that was the next innovation. And mobile cannon.
