I always used .22 shorts, for the same reason. My rifle, a 552 Remington, with a K4 on it, was THE squirrrel rifle in my group of buddies, and would cycle garage sale .22 short, long, and long rifle interchangeably. The Marlins, Winchesters and whatnot all demanded LR ammunition.

My 552 autoloader is about as accurate as my 581 bolt action, and that is actually saying something.
