Get her the Roberts.

Where will she get her ammo when her father has passed or is no longer able to reload ammo for her?

This comes close to home 'cause I load my daughter's 260 REM ammo and think about what she should do before I pass or am no longer able to reload ammo for her.

Not that I don't like the 257 ROB or the 260 REM, but as you say, the 6.5 Creedmoor is the logical short action bridge cartridge between the 243 and 308 in 2024.
Obvious answer, teach that young’un to reload!

That might work for the OP's daughter, but I doubt that mine would consider that a serious option. I'll probably just give her a Kimber Hunter in 6.5 CM at some point in time and repurpose the Remington 700 in 260 REM for myself.
No reload, the manbun is the answer.

I have both, like both. But I do reload.

Concerning the Creed, ya gotta work at reloading to beat, or even equal factory ammo. Can’t say that about many rounds. Maybe none, short of match ammo for .308 and such. But just random ammo off the shelf, the Creed is pretty unique.
