Bluegunner, that rifle is capable of shooting 1 inch groups 7 days a week @ 100 yards with the proper reload! Now good factory ammo (not the cheap stuff) should get you into the 1.5 to 2 inch range off the bench.
I know a fellow down south who has one in a .243 and his is very accurate. If you don't reload the best thing is to purchase several different brands of ammo and go to the range, to find out what that rifle likes the most. A simple process of elimination, same goes for various bullet weights also.
Now when you do this workout at the rifle range, don't let that barrel get to hot. Best to take at least 2 minutes or more between shots OK. Then wait 10 minutes in between each 3 shot group. Keep the barrel cool during this process. Clean bore after 3rd shot group.
I have a BAR in a .338 mag and it likes 225 grain Federal TBBC bullets the best in factory ammo. Shoots 1.75 MOA and 1.15 inch groups with my reloads.
