I reset the die as described, touch shell plate and back off 1/4 turn or so.
I thought I read "another 1/4 turn" further up in this thread, which isn't backing it off.

However, the instructions I have for carbide dies are that the die mouth should just touch the shell plate at the top of stroke. (Carbide is brittle.)

The depriming rod can be set too low in some dies, hitting the bottom of the case before it enters the die completely. You might check that to see if it is adjusted low enough to deprime, but not so low as to interfere with resizing.
