I am looking at purchasing a .223 for coyote hunting and was wondering what bullets have worked the best for some of you guys. I will also be hunting bocat with this rifle, mostly coyote though, but I would like to not tear up the hides too bad. Would I be better served with a different choice of caliber? Most shots will be inside of 150 yards. Also, does anyone have any experience with pentax scopes? Looking for a decent light gathering scope that if something happens to it I won't be out much, hopefully that never happens. Don't want to go overboard on a coyote specific rifle, won't be dual purpose.
