Check out this post from a Ruger forum. It addresses several issues that have been encountered by others.
If this doesn't help and you can't resolve it yourself, it's time to call Ruger. They stand behind their products and I'm quite sure they can either help you find the cause or they'll have you send it back for a factory fix.

Re: Need help
Another thing to check is to make sure that the gun is lubricated with a good lube (frog lube, militec, etc.) at all the points recommended by the manufacturer.
Guns that depend on the wimpy recoil impulse from .22 ammo don't have much energy margin they can afford to lose, and extra friction in the action can contribute to the problems you're seeing.
With that being said, if cleaning and lubrication are good to go, the next thing I would try would be to get 50 round boxes of 5 or 6 different types of ammo and see if the problem happens with some and not with others, as some members have suggested.
I'd give it 70 / 30 that's where the problem is.
