Try a good gun shop...peruse their manuals...buy the one that suits your needs. Short of that, go to Hodgen's powder data site and check their listings; 125 gr data is good for most manufactures...then work up you load, watching for telltale signs of excess pressure, and stopping when you reach the powder manuf's max.

I would think you should be ok with the honady book looking at there load data for the 125g XTP. what kind of powder are u going to use?

Those are Remington's SJHPs and most any load recipe for 125s should work. Remmie 158s seat a tad deeper to the cannelure than Hornady's 158s so one must accomadate for the difference in case capacity, but I don't know about the 125s. Start low and work your way up and you should be fine.
