Yes, I've run it that way also...quite successfully...with the Lyman "M" Expander. Just thought I'd see if I was missing anything with the PTX. The "M" expander is great when I'm loading .38 Spl...also have the plugs for .44 and .45
I was running the expander in station 1, the powder measure in 2, bullet feeder in 3 (there is enough room between the measure and the feeder), seater in 4 and crimp in 5.
Going to the PTX allows me to run a powder cop in station 2 with the the powder measure in 1 and the bullet feeder in 3. I've got it adjusted and locked down now, it was just irritating to see a bullet drop straight and then tilt over before getting to the seating die.
If it hadn't, I was going to switch up to resizing, priming and expanding as part of my pre-loading case prep
That is part of the reason I'm drawn to the RCBS ProChucker 7 station press
