On the box, they used to say that a .22 bullet out of a
rifle can travel a mile and a half.

My opinion says about a mile and a half.

I'm surprised nobody has brought up .22 rat shot. Close up it hits as
hard as a CB cap but 30-40' away it will barely penetrate halfway
through a corrugated box.

The rat shot won't do much damage to the Woodchuck at more than a few feet.
