Default Good overall large game caliber?

Alright I'm looking at getting a rifle that I would presumably use out west for mule deer, elk, and hopefully a moose someday. So the two biggest necessities of this rifle would be flat shooting and sufficient power.

I've done such research on different calibers and have basically narrowed down my search to 3 options. 270 wsm, 7mm Rem Mag, and the 300 wsm.

A couple side notes: as of right now I don't reload my own ammo, but those 3 calibers are fairly common. Also, I'm about 200 lbs and have quite a bit of experience with shooting so recoil isn't a huge deal, but I would like a rifle that I could shoot a decent amount at the range and not feel like hell.
