[QUOTE=bully;91799]i would say factory ammo can be a bench mark for how the rifle shoots. when things arnt going/grouping well. its a way to rule out your hand load. then re-load that brass.[/QUOTE

Firstly the ammo supplied with the rifle needs to be used at a range to determine the new rifle owners accuracy level, use that ammo up then get someone competent to make more.

The rifles owner may be a 1 moa shot with 1/2 moa ammo, and thats good, more practise needed.

Bully, factory ammo is not a benchmark for anything. Its too variable and general in its intent.

A handload with known recorded assembly measurements and accuracy levels developed for a particular rifle is your benchmark.

You can strive to meet that benchmark as you develop and learn as a reloader, then as your skill progress you can try to improve on that benchmark by superfine tuning that ammo.
