oldbear,
That is so good to hear, My pro 1000 has been great press. Mine is about 10 years old still going strong, Its only setup for 9mm its dialed in so I dont play with adjustments anymore I do occasionally check OAL but thats it, its a quirky press for sure.
What was wrong with your carrier? Mine has the plastic gears I put some grease in there to keep the wear down still indexes fine
