you know, when I first fired it this weekend, some of the rounds had trouble going into the cylinder. Would that be powder build up?

It's quite likely.
OTOH since .22LR uses a heeled bullet (i.e. the bullet is the same diameter as the case), powder reside will naturally accumulate past the end of the case and block the bullet to some degree. You just don't notice it when firing a semi-auto because you don't usually shove the bullet into the chamber with your fingers.
