I would take the 300RUM, mine is very accurate with the Barnes 180g TTSX.
Your choice with the 230g hybrid is a good one, I used them in my 300-416 Rigby Improved 35° with good success, not so much with the OTM.
Cheers.

As you know both will do the job. I have a saum running 180s at 2840 and had a 30 nosler running 230s at 2980.
I now have a 338 running 300s at 2820 so that should tell I'd definitely lean to the 230s.
I know both are stupid accurate so I'll ask a different question.
Is this a hunt where weight is critical and is one rifle considerably lighter than the other?
If not, shoot the one that makes your pants tight.

I'm a huge fan of the 7RSAUM.. for what it is, it does a whole lot
No...the 7 SAUM with the 180 bullet, will NOT be flatter...
The 300 RUM wins both categories
Kill the animal the first shot, and recoil is irrelevant
Easy. I would take both.
Good luck with your hunt.

Sounds like to me you're wanting to take the 7 saum…so if takes that. You're not under gunned with it.
You be nice!When I look at the Saum ..I think right away S = Short ....enough said !
Rum Man
Does the R mean Really Short.
