I interpret that to mean the recoil causes the gun to move before the bullet is long gone. I don't believe that.

Mr. Tremaine
For those of us that shoot our 44s at a distance much farther than the OP did, this phenomenon(simple physics) becomes apparent on every yardage change. The effect is more apparent using heavier bullets, large powder charge, and longer barrels! Physics states " for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction". When the powder ignites and the bullet starts to move there is an opposite, and equal, force exerted on the recoil shield of the revolver, commonly referred to as recoil! Recoil tries to force the gun rearward but the shooter resists forcing the gun upperwards! The amount of recoil is dependent on the weight of the bullet, powder charge, and length of time the bullet spends in the barrel! In my 10 5/8" 44 mag with a 240gr bullet, 23.5grs of H110, and changing the yardage from 25yds to 50yds the RISE of POI is probably 12"-18" but at 100yds the hit is on! With the same 100yd shot the first 25yd shot will not be on a 24x24 square paper!
