Lathe Not Cutting Straight

$

I have a .375 piece of cold roll, that I need to turn down to .318. It needs to be 3.5" long. I have the lathe turning at 175 Rpm. The piece is supported with a live center. No matter what changes I make,the end closes to the chuck, always comes up .006 larger than the tail stock end. Does this mean the Chuck and the tail stock are out of center?
