I've seen several pics on various forums from users who did it. One included a whole row of 550's with hornady linkages and rcbs uniflow PMs (repainted in powder blue!).
You used to have to expand separately (and seat+crimp in one station) or modify the Hornady PM linkage/die with parts from Lyman's powder through multi-expander die. Now Hornady has powder through expanders for its linkage (a slightly different linkage design too).

Thanks, Andy. I wonder if any modification was needed to mate the RCBS to the linkage. Hornady states the linkage will work only with the LNL measure. I'm calling today to confirm. I don't see why it would not work with the older Hornady measures. Also, while I haven't measured, the RCBS drum appears to be identical to the Hornady. I'll post Hornady's response.
