The 110 AccuBond is not a meat-saver. I've used several bullets in the .257 Weatherby over the years, and even the 120-grain Partition ruins more meat than either the 100 TTSX or Nosler E-Tip.
You might try the 115-grain TSX. Yep. I just worked up a couple hundred of the newish 101 gr LRX in my Blaser .257 Weatherby. Will report back when I kill a few dozen stags next fall...
You can no more tell someone how to do something you've never done, than you can come back from somewhere you've never been...

100 gr. TSX or TTSX with Retumbo is a match made in heaven for the 257 Weatherby
Very meat friendly.

I don't worry much about saving meat until it's meat. And, IMO, it's not meat til it's on the ground for keeps.
If saving the most meat was my goal, I might tend to put a Brenneke style slug behind the shoulder of about anything on 4 legs... I tend to follow that train of thought as well. Get 'em on the ground first.

Get 'em on the ground first. That said, I do shoot for the slats and avoid shoulder and heavy bone, if I can. I've leaned towards fast expansive bullets most of my life and not ruined much meat.
