It will be interesting to see how you solve your hypothetical question without considering the radius of the movement.  Either the .001" movement has no effect  or it rotates about the radius of the stationary rear bag, which for practical purposes is close enough to the sight radius for this discussion. The arc of any movement is the Second of Angle that determines the bullet's destination as it relates to the original destination. 

Being naturally lazy, I did not do the math to get the precise answer since this is all BS any way

But as has been pointed out, it is the rear bag location, not the sight radius (assumed to be a tang sight). Without precise measurements, it is pointless to do the math for no practical purpose.   If you want a closer estimate, you could use my heel sight settings or just deduct 20% from the 200 yard bullet movement. 

.200" at target, unless you are using common core math, then the answer doesn't matter just as long as you got the equation correct.

.001 x 200 =

Owners of vintage single-shot rifles covertly introduced bias into the formation of the question with the intent to humiliate those members not initiated into the secret beliefs and rites of the ASSRA sub-cult.  Their intent was to give an unfair advantage to breech-loaders.  My inability to ascertain the correct answer has damaged my self-esteem. Therefore, those of us who are not breech-loaders should get the same score as the others, and an award, just for participating.

43 inches Don and the movement is at the muzzle and not the POA.

JLOUIS - Please qualify "as the bullet leaves the barrel." What is the exact location of the bullet when the assessment is to be taken?  Could be from any point from the leade to just past the muzzle.

Quit smirking!

7.2÷43=0.16744186". But I still want to know the location of the bullet.

Bullet location would be at the point just prior to exiting the muzzle.
