I'm using 39.x gr in the 6x47 with 108's (3070) and 41.x with a 147 eld in the 6.5 creedmoor (2780 fps). I would think 38-41 gr would be a pretty good range for 140's in the x47.

Use R17 data.

Nope, I've been focusing on H4350, with Berger 105 Hybrids in a 26" Criterion. I'm shooting consistently in the 3s but have not gotten better than that. BB

40gr with 140 Hybrid in my 6.5x47. Shot as good as H4350.

Use it in a 6.5 creed. It’s faster burning than 4350 by about a grain
