What kind of accuracy can you get with factory ammo with this rifle?

I also handload my own ammo but I want to be able to compare apples to apples.

I have one of the synthetic model ones. With Remington Express it is good for around 2.03" 5 shot groups. As far as cold barrel 1 shots, the worst it has ever been is 1.1" from POA.
 With handloads my particular gun likes the bullets a little longer than the factory Remingtons. With a hunting load the thing groups 1.88" 5 shot on average. Not really a tack driver, but more than adequate for my max 300 yard shots  where I hunt.

My experiance has mirrored Bugflipper's. That first shot from a cold barrel is always exactly where it should be. But after shot two as the barrel heats up POI shifts around somewhat.

 The only "factory" ammo I've tried is LC 62 Match
