I have an LH 6.5 CM FTW, mine had a bad chamber Ruger replaced barrel, & bolt came back great. Although my cheaper LH Ruger Predator will out shoot it. Have heard of similar issues with the FTW in 6.5 CM.
Take a fired case and rotate it and rechamber and check for resistance on closing. See if your chamber is right. A felt pen is also great way to check.
A FTW should shoot most loads well and good loads great, would look at chamber and barrel before you spend a lot of time and chasing loads. Mine in original barrrel was
fussy, and when it came back from Ruger with the new barrel it shot all loads well and the best great.
