I didn't see a projectile , that looked like 2 charges powder and the paper stuffed as a wad

if I was guessing I would say ounce each 437grains per ounce

I used to shoot a .72 caliber flintlock Trade Gun. It was one of Curly's creations. I used ounce and a quarter round balls.

If you listen close, the second "cartridge" sounds like a load of buckshot going down the barrel, and the wrapping as the top wad.

My dad's dutch musket replica throws a .775 round ball, with 100 grains 2F. Good thing it weighs 13 pounds.

A gentleman named Jim Hamilton used to take a wall gun like that to Martin's Station in May of every year in for "The Raid on Martin's Station" event. He would fire it several times during the battle scene. Unfortunately Jim passed a number of years ago.
