If it's a stock barrel that's supposed to be a drop in replacement you might want to send it back and tell them it was short chambered. I don't know how GM does their match barrels.

There's a number of gunsmiths on the site, you might try 300SNIPER and ROSCOE

 
Re: RUGER 10-22

Those barrels are set up for match ammo ONLY. What are you trying to feed it? If there is a problem, send it back to GM and they will replace it in a second.
 
Re: RUGER 10-22

Having a rimfire chamber reamer on hand can be an accuracy tool.

Many of us have noted that a new rimfire rifle can shoot the doors off anything comparable, but that after time, accuracy drops off a bit and then plateaus.

This is generally caused by an accumulation of lead deposits out at the the very end of the chamber neck.

Employing a chamber reamer by hand to gently chase this lead deposit out can restore original accuracy, and makes a good periodic maintenance step for rimfire rifles.

Obviously, this usually requires removing the barrel to achieve, but taking a bit of time to figure out how to do this without buggering things up can improve and extend accuracy indefinitely.

With a 10/22, this operation is a snap.

I've had problems with bulk pack Remington in my GM barrel not wanting to fit well. Try a couple different kinds of ammo if you haven't. Just a thought.

My Volquartsen barrel came with a note in the box that says not to feed it Stingers, it will not fit and will void the warranty. But it feeds everything els just fine.
