Have U asked your dau how she feels RE stepping up in recoil? This is a good chance to discuss the reality of hunting a much bigger animal, the need to shoot accurately, and to recognize the limitations of your skill and equipment. If she is willing to step up, then you can go in increments to a fullhouse 270 elk load. A bonded or partition 130 gr bullet making 3K fps is going to devastate any elk if put through both lungs. If she isn't willing to step up for whatever reason, I'd respect that and describe the limitations that puts on her shooting: we have to get closer, we have to get broadside, we have to pass on a shot. Ultimately her confidence will be highest if she has made the important decisions. Either way, I see lots of shooting practice in both your futures, and that's a good thing. BTW, I didn't read how old and what size your dau is.
