Turned Around

I have made a decent amount of bottle stoppers, but one thing that gets to me is once the tailstock is removed to finish the shaping of the blank, the drill chuck I had starts to walk out of the headstock.
I do not have a jawed chuck for my small lathe, so I use the tapered drill chuck, and a pointed live center on the tailstock to keep it from wobbling out. Chatter seems to be an issue with some of them as well. What do you guys do to keep them in place during turning?
