Could it be crap building up in the ejector star preventing  the cases from seating fully, that would act like tight head space.

If you go to rugerforum.com and go into the gunsmithing or revolver section and find a fellow by the name of Iowagan he has a wonder full book called the IBOK that deals with the GP100 series and it talks about everything from springs and trigger jobs to the barrel throat. He has sent me a copy Via email and also one for the Mk II. I did the work on my Super Redhawk and was just amazed how good the action turned out.

All good points, although the crap under the ejector I doubt as the thing is always clean as a whistle every time we start shooting and this was after no more than 30 rounds (this session)
I've heard of the IBOK too, and will be looking into that.
The bigthing is this is a BRAND NEW GUN- put about 150 rounds through it and sent it to Ruger. Got it back after they worked it over and put another 150-200 rounds through it and it's screwing up again. I've fired other GP 161 and they would fire all day long with no problems. Very disappointing.

I only mentioned that because I had JUST been reading an article in this monthes Shooting Times about headspace on revolvers.  Really stinks that you are having so much trouble with this gun, the records would probably show that it was built the day before a long weekend or by a new employee   :(

Trade it.  Trade it for something else. You don't need the aggravation.
