If you count heaviest bullet for cartridge then the 300WM would be significantly flatter and more so as the range increases. There would be a window where the 7mm would be flatter but it would be much smaller.

A 300wm w/ 180gr bullet will be about 150+fps faster than a 7mm w/ 175gr bullet. Not sure what that translates to in trajectory at given distances but it does show if your looking to shoot heavier bullets for the larger game mentioned the 300wm should get the nod. These numbers are based off of Nosler data.
