Most barrels will shoot Factory Hornady 123 grain ELD-Match ammo. The 120 grain Sierra Match King is an accurate bullet in most rifles. If I was in your position I'd try some Federal 130 grain Gold Medal Match ammo or Federal American Eagle 120 SMK.
Make sure your gas block is not hitting the hand guard. Ensure the gas tube is properly aligned and the barrel nut is tight. Make sure you have a good trigger and verify you have a good scope. If there are no other problems it might be the barrel. I'd have another shooter try and if I couldn't get any accuracy (1.5" or better) with 120 grain SMK, 123 grain ELD-M, Federal 130 Gold Medal Match or Federal TNT 90 grain then I think you have a sub par barrel.
The 120 grain Sierra Match King and the 120 grain Sierra Pro Hunter will usually produce good groups in about any barrel with various powders. If you can't get 1.5" groups with either of those two bullets I think it is a subpar barrel or some other problem.
