You can see visually that across these rifles, ammo and shot strings there is no tendency for the (cold) first shot to be outside the normal shot-to-shot variation.

I never clean back to bare metal but some of these would be "clean-er" cold bore

Interesting. Were they all factory ammo? All reloads? Need to compare apples with apples. If factory ammo, the variation is more likely to be the ammo than the rifle.

Identify your target beyond all doubt because you never miss (right?) and I'll be missed.
