I also can't remember the targets barring from me neither , but it wasn't 0°. It was probably around 10° or so .
Idealy, you should be perpendicular to the target's course, and fire at zero gyro angle. That makes the most accurate shot, because it doesn't take target's range into account. At that time the target won't have bearing 0 (the offset is approx. 2 degrees per knot).

I'll give you a formula:
spread in meters = tangens of spread angle * distance in meters

In this case it would be 200m.
