As has been said, they won't cycle the action of a .22LR autoloader. And most simply won't feed the shorts even hand-cycled.
A lot of popular new designs will not feed shorts, they were never intended to. But many will, the Henry for example. It loves them long time.
On the plus side (if you can find them) CB longs give safe quiet airgun-like performance like CB shorts and they will hand-cycle through most (but not all) guns that will hang up with shorts. CCI makes them and yes they will be a little more expensive than regular shorts.
