Bill, I think maybe you're forgetting that, using your example of 1" at the muzzles, if they are 1" apart at the muzzle (center to center) they will be somewhere around 1.340" apart (center to center) at the breech, for a 12 ga. that is. This .340" difference from breech to muzzle would be the amount of convergence.
