Small cannon balls (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

grapeshot

(Other definitions for grapeshot that I've seen before include "slugs?" , "Small iron balls fired from a cannon" , "Great Balls of Fire" , "Describing ammunition" , "Charge for barrel" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun and the New York Times.
