Cadet,
Sorta yes and no. Since the recoil of the barrel moves the gun laterally, the shot exits the barrel as the barrel comes into alignment with the point of impact(hopefully also the same as point of aim). This means the shot actually came out of the barrel from a certain distance laterally from the aiming line of your eye-front bead-target. Granted this lateral displacement is small, but it exists. If we assume the gun rotates laterally about the butt of the stock, using the measured convergence we can calculate the distance the muzzle would have to move laterally to be pointing at a target at a given distance.
If we use the .020 convergence which came out to about a 12" crossed shot at 16yds, and used 50" for the gun length, the muzzle would have to move about 1" laterally to line up with the target. At 32yds, the shot would be 1" crossed over....in theory. Could you see any of this??? Unlikely, IMO...
