onestar,
Have you tried contacting Hodgdon to see if they have an explanation?  They have a web site.  I see where they are only offereing pellets in 50 caliber for now.
http://www.hodgdon.com/tripleseven/t7pellets.php

 Save your money, use the 777 powder in 2ff/3fff ? and experiment with the best powder load, not just 100 grain pellets. Measure out 75- 100 grain loads in 5 grain increments for accuracy and when you discover the best,  dump that amount of powder into an old 35mm plastic can along with the cap, and sabot/bullet and you have yourself a "Quickloader".  Make a few extra for hunting and you're ready to go.  Tell 'em to keep their damn pellets anyhow!  Let us know how you like the suggestion.

Folks also want T7 in 30 gr. .50 caliber pellets. They are not scheduled for release until 2004 as far as I know.

????? T7 pellets in .45 can't help, but i would go with the T7 in powder form you can work up your load the best with lose powder.

Ive seen it in local shops in Minnesota.Reeds, Scheels,Sportsmens Wharehouse. I believe the cost of shipping powder, caps,ect. excludes them from being listed in many mail order catologes.

I have not seen it in 45 anywhere. I dont even see pellets  in pyro for 45 cal. But I dont use pellets any way so its not a problem for me. Part of the problem is marketing. What type of ML does your standard chain store sell ? What ever it is it is probably in 50 cal so they only sell what a 50 cal will shoot. If 80% of ML being massed produced ( especially the inlines ) are 50 cal then most of the products will be for 50 cal.
Lets take a poll ... Every body go to their local walmart and Dicks and count what is NOT in 50 cal.... just food for thought. They will not tie up inventory in something one person asks for one time every 3 or 4 months.
As the others have said... go with the loose and work up a good load
