Just started loading the creedmoor myself. Shooting a 26" 1:8 pac-nor barrel, stiller action, J-Allen stock with ER-25 5x25x58 US Optics. I'm using H-4350 with hornady 140 A-max and Sierra 140mk's. I'm .020 off the lands and tested 37 grains up to 41.5 with no signs of pressure. Best results have come from the A-max with 40.0 grains. I have 100 pieces of hornady brass with 2 firings and just trimmed all case lengths to 1.915. I plan to decrease the jump .005 till I'm touching the lands and see what happens with my group.
Also have a box of burger 140 VLD Hybird and 142 sierra mk's that I will throw in the mix to see how they group. Will keep you posted as I go. Good luck and let me know when you find what the Savage likes best.

Your best load with 140gr Hybrids will be somewhere from 40gr-42.5gr H4350... I bet!! That gets it around the pressure the 6.5x47L shoots at 40gr H4350..

Lapua brass ( formed from 22-250 cases) 210M primer , H4350 , 140 VLD.
If you are not looking for a hunting load ...the 140 SMK jammed shoots real well with XBR 8208 , H 414 & H4350 ( learned during fire forming)

My gun loves 42.7grs of H4350 with 139 Lapua or 140 Berger HYB. You should find a sweet spot between 41.5 and 42.5 of H4350 with the 140s. I get a vertical of under .5 MOA at 600yds. Usually around 2"s...
