Am thinking got a bad faulty gun iam so pissed of as you are. All my other guns are tack drivers
I would not expect to see a big difference in your groups for using 2208-2209
what I would try if I were you is pull the rifle apart and clean everything then assemble carefully and make sure everything fits together nicely

from the manual
d. Tighten the two screws as follows: Do not tighten one screw all the way and
then the other. Instead, alternately tighten each one – a partial turn at a
time – so that the screws will be tightened equally until both are snugly
tightened to 60-80 in-lbs
using factory ammo try a couple of slow shot groups off solid bags, rear and front
if this does not show a difference I would be having it looked at by a gunsmith
I dont own this ruger rifle but have seen a couple of this model ruger shoot and very well,
I actually couldn't believe one that shot one hole consistently with factory ammo
made me think about all the money I put into a semi custom that would not shoot
