I get 100 grain Hornady BTSP lt. mag cartridges for my grandsons. I personally do not like ballistic tips (couldn't give me a box).

Assuming you aren't hunting varmints anything from Sierra 85 grain Game King on up ought to do well.

I like 95gr BT's in the .243 cal. Preform good on game usually drops em in their tracks. If ur gona shoot factory try Winchester 95gr Ballistic Silvertips. If u reload work up a load with the Nosler 95grBT's. They never let me down.

my daughter shoots 100 gr serrias at 2850fps works great. also you might want to contact the womens sport shooting foundation on suggestions for fitting the rifle to her, i don't explain things good sometimes but most rifles are fitted for men not women the but of the rifle should be cut so its at a 90 degree angle or slanted forward to an 85 degree maybe, girls body structure is different from mens if this don't make sense contact me and i'll try to clear it up

100gr cor-lokts or 100gr partitions will do it to it.

I cast my vote for 100 grain Cor-Lokts or Nosler partitions as well. I don't like ballistic tips in general but I really don't like them in the smaller calibers. Too frangible.
