I got these ballistics there:
.308 - 180 gr Super X
energy at muzzle - 2743 ft/lbs, at 300 yds - 1109 ft/lbs
sited in @ 100 yds 1.9, 200 yds 0.0, 300 yds -12.1

30-06 - 180 gr Super X
energy at muzzle - 2913 ft/lbs, at 300 yds - 1793
sited in @ 100 yds 2.0, 200 yds 0.0, 300 yds -8.6

.300 WM - 180 gr Super X
energy at muzzle - 3501 ft/lbs, at 300 yds - 2196
sited in @ 100 yds 1.9, 200 yds 0.0, 300 yds -7.3.

7mm RM - 175gr Super X
energy at muzzle - 3178 ft/lbs, at 300 yds - 1956
sited in @ 100 yds 2, 200 yds 0.0, 300 yds -7.9

The .270 wasn't even recommended for moose, the largest bullet there was 150 gr, way too light.

Recoil in ft/lbs for the above mentioned rounds are:

308 - 19 ft/lbs
30-06 - 20 ft/lbs
7mm RM - 23 ft/lbs
300WM - 26.5 ft/lbs (this is what you feel at the shoulder)
these are approx., the table I use doesn't list make, model, or barrel length used.
