Even with the shallow seating the run out was acceptable at least according to the wobble test. Rolling the cartridges across glass.

Like 1 minute if the cartridges were dry cycled or banged around in my pack more run out could occur but not enough to hurt mid range hunting loads. If I can get close to the same accuracy by seating deeper I do. I stop at about .003 neck tension as well as other things happen with tighter necks like bending the neck or buckling the shoulder slightly.

My accuracy standards are not that high for hunting loads. Once I get consistent groups of around an inch or less I usually stop load work and go hunting. On a really accurate rifle I will tweak around trying to get half inch or less groups but don't worry if it doesn't get there.
