Phil - I may be misunderstanding your figures but if you got 4 readings at 90 degree apart, and all from .043 to .046, that's only .003 variance and you have to divide that by 2 to get actual run out - or .0015. That is already an excellent figure. Not sure if I'm misunderstanding your figures or something?

The Brownell tool has an excellent reputation for accuracy and ease of use but I haven't used it before.
