What does the unit caliber measure?

Caliber measures the internal diameter of a gun barrel or expresses barrel length as a multiple of that bore diameter, used in firearms and artillery.

What was the Roman actus used for?

The Roman actus was an ancient length unit key in land surveying and defining property dimensions in Roman times.

Is this conversion used in practical ballistics?

No, this conversion mainly serves historical and academic purposes as the two units have very different contexts and scales.
