Must have measured it HOT and it shrunk as it cooled down. I'd stick to that story.
Nice work.
I'd be tempted to take it on and off the spindle a couple of times to see if it stayed true. If not you may have to play with the shoulder it registers on before you cut the taper. Just a thought.
Free advice is worth exactly what you payed for it.

Thanks Greg, I have taken it off the spindle and checked it again a couple times now and it checks out each time. But...It needs to be tightened slightly to register next to no runout so I'm thinking it might need a bit more clearance but I'm now worried I will mess it up? As long as I spin it on and hear it clunk as it hits the end of the spindle it seems good?

Yep. That's how mine works. If I just let it very lightly touch the back it will register about .001 out. With just a bit of snugging it settles out to less than .005 every time.
If it's crazy but it works, it's not crazy.
