Default Clean Bore ..... where's the first shot go?

This has the potential to be the silliest post of all time, and forgive me, as I'm not joe sniper, but I noticed something that precipitates a serious question....

After cleaning your rifle, does the first shot follow a consistent pattern (POI) on most rifles?

The reason I ask, and maybe it's fluke, one of my guns throws the first clean cold bore shot almost always at 1 to 3 o'clock about 1" off @ 100m.

Logic would tell me this is an anomaly or fluke.

Seems to happen almost every-time (like 75% or higher) since I started watching it - in like 10-12 cleanings I'd say.

It settles in after that and I'm finding after 2-3 more shots it seems to do very well for consistency from there on .....

is this normal or just a fluke .... I have been shooting and hunting for 35 years, and shoot a fair amount - but this is the first time (first gun) I've noticed it on.
