Default RE: Little tip to eliminate runout

ORIGINAL: trailer

This probably sounds like a silly question to you but how do you accomplish measuring run out? If someone uses soft point bullets I can’t see getting an accurate measurement with a lead tip compared to a poly carbonate tip. Do you have a trick to this ?...
I measure runout with a concentricity gauge. You put a round on it and roll it. But you measure runout not at the ogive, but more towards the neck about .1" or more above the neck.
