Nice group there, Looks to be about an inch which is great ! I saw a frown face on your reply, Don't get discouraged by suggestions that you might be able to do better with handloads. Just about every gun can be a better shooter with handloads but handloading is not everyone's cup of tea. Curious if you have shot other manufactured loads through it as well. If not, you might try some others to see what they will do through the gun. Most guns will have a favorite and finding that favorite is part of the fun.
I have started hand loading a few years ago and most of my rifles have improved from factory loads. I typically have a target load or 2 and a hunting load or 2 for each rifle that pulls double duty. It's all part of the fun and the pleasure of getting to shoot your rifle as much as possible which will also make you a better trigger squeezer with practice.
There is nothing wrong with that group at all and I'd classify that as a great hunting load for the rifle. !
