.22LR is an abbreviation of .22 long rifle. They're the same cartridge. They can kill both animals, but at relatively short range. Hell, they can kill a human if the shot's just right. That said, I'd probably feel much better targeting coyotes with something a little bigger, just from an ethical standpoint. I think some people use rimfires for them, though, because of the smaller holes in the hide.

all depends on shot placement. I have shot small critters at about 75 yads, but would not try that on bigger game like coyotes. Doesn't take much of a miss to wound and not kill. It would work fine for woodchucks. Probably out to 50 yards depending on skill of shooter.

You can kill a yote with a .22 out to about 50 yards and yes It will kill just about anything if you put the bullet in the boiler room. It is the number one choice of poachers because it's quiet and kill fast.
