Answer:
No, the gas-check additions to traditional conical lead bullets amount to the same thing as sabots and are not legal in hunts designated "traditional". The rules call for lead or lead alloy bullets, not lead bullets with plastic added on. Power Belt and other similar gas-check devices are legal for use in regular muzzleloader hunts as well as any-weapon or short-range weapon hunts.
