Two Speeding Objects meeting?

This question is pretty straight forward, in a feat where one tries to outpace something at roughly the same distance:

Example, a bullet that travels 792.48 m/s up to 3 meters, and person is 1 meter away from where the bullet was fired and moved back 2 meters to the max distance (for the sake of the example)

3 meters / 792.48 m/s = 3.78558449 milliseconds

and with the person moving back 2 meters from where the bullet fired

2m / 3.78558449 milliseconds = 528.320001 m / s

So in summary, would the person still make contact with the bullet if he reached the same distance as the max distance of the bullet?

considering that there would be 0 meters between them? not metaphorically but mathematically?
 
It’s a very specific question. Unless the bullet magically disappears at 3 m, they would certainly make contact. If it does disappear like that the it depends if the 3 meter marked is at the center of the person’s body or at the further extent outwards.

I thought so, thanks, the bullet does not disappear, it still is present, so that would mean that the person running back and the bullet traveled reached the same distance based on their speeds.

The calc I am going for from text is where the person dodges it when it was sudden and he was taken by surprise.
