BK I would usually agree with your bullet logic but I can tell you after watching 50 or so head of game get hit with the 100 gr tsx that it is like canned lightning at 3700 fps and have yet to recover a single one. Elk, deer(mule and whitetail), antelope and black bear. I also found seated deeper rather than farther out produced better groups for me. Seems they like some "jump"
If you find yourself in a hole....quit digging

IMR 7828 also seems to be a laying on of the hands for several Weatherby cartridges up to the 300's my favourite in 338/378 Bee and 378

fotis was 69 grs of rl-22 a max load with the 110 ab.curious if you went higher and lost accuracy and backed off.going to have a 257 built and have read a lot about 100 tsx and rl 22.and many like 72 grains. I like accubonds also so this interests me.thanks.
