Nope, Mark. The "B" string is a devil to tune. Every guitar is different. For many years I tuned the B on my Lowden a hair flat, or else it would play sharp on a few chords.

When you're playing in "dropped D" often you have to tune the sixth string a hair flat as well, cause the extra resonance makes it sound sharp when played hard.
