If this is true, very interesting!


It is quite obvious upon simply looking at a set of SxS bbls that they in fact do converge toward the muzzles. Upon firing them for point of aim it also becomes readily apparent they do not cross fire to the extent the bore convergence would indicate if the in fact hit where they pointed prior to firing.

Along the same line if you check on most any pistol/revolver larger than a .22 short yo will note the bbl is pointed below the sight line. Muzzle rise moves the bore line above the sight line prior to the bullet's exit.
