Non-lead bullets

First, a shoutout to Hoot. I just tumbled some brass with the pins you sent me and they came out as yellow and shiny as ever! Thanks again for all the advice and help. (I know it’s been a while, but I couldn’t help but have a kind thought as I separated brass from stainless…)
Maybe there’s already a thread? But my search-foo is not strong and I don’t see what I’m looking for. My daughter-in-law is a bit… sensitive. I love her dearly, but 1) she’s new to this game 2) she was raised in the Chicago area by semi-treehuggers (so it’s remarkable that she hunts with us and genuinely enjoys it). Did I mention that last week at five-stand she broke doubles at four different stations on one round? Pretty proud of her.
She has requested copper solids for deer hunting, so I’m looking for suggestions on bullets and loads that you all like. I realize finding components will be challenging, but she’s patient and will hunt with my Hornady FTX loads until I can make her some of her own. If you have a suggestion for copper solids also in 350 Legend, I’d like to know about that, too.
