The simple answer, No. Center fire is associated with cartridge guns and refers to the location that the firing pin strikes the cartridge or more precisely the primer. If you look at a .308 shell for instance you will see a round button at thebottom of the shell, that is the primer and the "center" of the shell. Thus a center fire. The newer in line rifles that use 209 shotgun primers could be very loosely categorized as center fire rifles, but in common terms are known as in line ignition.
