I say stick with the CM since that’s what you already have. It will give more velocity out further if the opportunity presents itself and she feels comfortable taking it. I say that based on the plan to take it on an elk hunt and it being kinda her do all rifle. Otherwise either cartridge will do whatever you want inside 300 yards for most game.
That was my thinking that got me to the CM to begin with. With enough practice I'd like for her to increase her range to 400 in certain situations. But if the extra recoil hurts her overall progress she'd be better of with the ARC.

Good luck fitting 73ms, I haven’t been able to in gen 1 and definitely cans in gen2 atleast in my two. I fit 77tmk in gen 1 but still a bit short for where I need to be to get accuracy. 75eldm is a long long bullet I can’t fit into either. Kinda bummed but have been single shooting and man they are nice
Man that is close! I don't think they're touching but they're almost too close to tell. Rounds cycled fine in the action, little dent in one of the brass though.
