The 7mm RM is definitely a better choice than the 300 WM for the game you list. The 30 caliber bullets offer no advantages, and as you suspect has a heavier recoil. You may be aware of this, but the brass size is the same on both cartridges. The 7mm RM however has a better ballistic coeficient in the useful bullet weights, due to the smaller caliber.

The other good choice would be the 270 Winchester, if recoil is any concern. The popularity of this cartridge is very well deserved as well.
