Ammo recommendation for friend's Tikka T3X Lite 6.5 CM

[SumTingWong]

So a friend just purchased a Tikka T3X Lite 6.5 CM, with 24" barrel, which he won't get for about 2 weeks.
He is planning on using it for deer hunting.

Can someone recommend a higher quality NON-LEAD ammo for this model?
Also, what is the highest recommended non-lead bullet weight for this rifle? If it matters, the twist is 1:8.

Thanks!
D!

I'd look at Nosler Etips to start with.
Never used them but anything Nosler should be good

Etip's in 6.5 only go up to 120gr I believe but with good shot placement should bring down a decent sized animal.

Thanks, I was looking at those, and the Barnes TTSX.
