Has anyone shot these before in there 45 caliber muzzle loaders? If so how was the accuracy with them? Thanks

Assuming you mean the 200 gr. 40 / 45s, they shot 1-3/4" area in a G2-- 90 gr. T7.

what is the best shooting bullet out of your new G2 so far Randy?

It's a push between 275 gr. Powerbelts and 220 gr. Dead Centers.

Yes...I've tried them in an Omega .45 and a Disc Elite .45. The 200gr SST shoots particularly good in my Omega .45 with two Pyrodex pellets for 2023fps.

I have shot the 200 grain .40/.50 Shockwaves in my Disc Elite with excellent results. It is the best shooter so far. I assume MMP makes the blue sabot used in this loading. I do not think Hornady markets the SST in a .40/.50. At least I haven't been able to find any info. on it. Oh well, if I have to shoot a yellow poly tip rather than a red one, I can live with that. I have received some info that there is a difference in the sabots of the .45/.50 Shockwaves vs. SST's.

I would like to see Hornady sell the SST's in bulk and let the masses purchase their sabots in bulk as well. Too cheap that way I guess.

Coming out later this year, according to Hornady.

I called Hornady a couple months ago, and one of the questions asked
was about packaging in boxes of a hundred, like most of their other
bullets. They are considering it, but if they go ahead with it, they won't
be available until fall, or just before.
