Description
The Traditions Accelerator Breech Plug is one of those parts you don't think about until you need it, and when you do, this is the one that makes life at the range and in the field a whole lot easier. The standout feature is the knurled head that lets you remove the plug with your fingers in just three full rotations. No wrench, no fumbling around in cold weather with frozen hands, just twist it out and get to cleaning.
Inside, it packs a built-in 209 primer holder and a flat-face design paired with a heavy-duty O-ring. That combination gives you dependable ignition and helps cut down on blow back, which keeps your action cleaner and your shots more consistent. It's built from steel with a silver finish and measures right around 4.2 inches, so it holds up to the heat and pressure of repeated firing.
What the Accelerator Breech Plug Feeds On
This plug plays nice with the powders most inline hunters actually run. It works well with Blackhorn 209, Pyrodex Pellets, and loose powder, so you've got flexibility depending on your load and your rifle. Whether you're sighting in before the season or topping off between shots on a hunt, the tool-free design means faster maintenance and less time messing with hardware.
Which Rifles the Accelerator Plug Fits
This is a direct-fit replacement for Traditions Accelerator-series muzzleloaders, including the Pursuit II, Pursuit Ultralight, Pursuit XT, Vortek, Vortek Ultralight, Vortek StrikerFire, Buckstalker, and Buckstalker XT. One thing worth knowing before you order: it is not interchangeable with Northwest Accelerator models, and it won't swap the ignition style on your gun. It's also not made for bolt-action, plunger-style, or any non-Accelerator rifles. If you're running one of the models listed above, this is the drop-in part you're after, and it makes a smart backup to keep in your kit.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which muzzleloaders does the Traditions Accelerator Breech Plug fit?
It's a direct-fit replacement for the Accelerator-series rifles, including the Pursuit II, Pursuit Ultralight, Pursuit XT, Vortek, Vortek Ultralight, Vortek StrikerFire, Buckstalker, and Buckstalker XT. It is not interchangeable with Northwest Accelerator models or any non-Accelerator, bolt-action, or plunger-style muzzleloaders. If you own one of the listed models, this plug drops right in.
Do I need any tools to remove the Accelerator breech plug?
No tools needed. The knurled head is designed to spin out with your fingers in just three full rotations, which makes cleaning and maintenance quick even out in the field with gloves on. That's a big part of why folks like keeping this design in their kit.
What powders work best with this breech plug?
It's built to run Blackhorn 209, Pyrodex Pellets, and loose powder, so you've got room to experiment with your load. The flat face and heavy-duty O-ring help deliver consistent ignition across all three. Match it to whatever your rifle shoots best.
Can I use this plug to change my rifle's ignition style?
No, this breech plug won't change the ignition style on your muzzleloader. It replaces the existing 209 breech plug on Accelerator-series guns and keeps the same 209 primer setup. Think of it as a straight replacement or a smart backup, not a conversion part.
