Default WSM "Inherent Accuracy"?

Over the past several years reading about the inherent accuracy of the WSMs I was a bit skeptical. That was until I brought my new Browning Micro Hunter 325WSM home. I've had the rifle about 3 weeks now and without counting the 20 rounds to break it in, I have run 90 other rounds through it with various loads, bullets and powders. The smallest group to date is just under 1/2" and the largest just a tad over 1.1". The average group size for this rifle/cartridge combo from 15 groups is 0.749". I'm still working on a load for this combo but RL-19 powder and Nosler Accubond 200 grainers are looking very promising. Barnes TSX bullets were doing fine at moderate loads but when pushed to max, they started to be consistantly erratic.
