I think 1.5" is reasonable for a random factory load. 2" isfair-poor from a modern bolt gun IMO. I could take that from my muzzleloaders but not my centerfires. Mostly I think the shooters have a hard time holding the gun still enough to make their gun shoot 1" groups. Let's say it shot 1/2" from a solid concrete bench rest and an expert shooter...not exactly a lot of room to play with to get those 1" groups.
