Dial a 30 inch Krieger in with your method, then check it in front of the throat. *(Disclaimer; Krieger is my preferred choice, but they can wander a bit)
Well, I have chucked a 30 inch Krieger and let it hang out and measured the runout on the OD
it was only .008" way out at the end, they are very straight.
So yeah, another reaon I like Krieger
------------------------------------------------
I have also dialed in Bartlein ID , then measured the OD for a comparison to see how close the OD was to the ID
It was within .0003" - That was a Carbon Wrapped as well
concentric enough for me to even dial in on the OD if a guy wanted to
(Way better than guys that are chambering with a 3 jaw, which just, I've seen it on you tube and just NO)
I mean I like to get things to that .0001" but in a pinch, such as a varmint or hunting rifle
.0003" is plenty accurate.
------------------------------------------------
But are you suggesting the bore will wander much just within cartridge length on a Krieger??
Even if both ends are dialed in?
------------------------------------------------
BTW, I push the reamer and let it guide itself to keep itself centered as it cuts
