I don't think there is a commercially available round for the Borchardt. Johnny Peppers posted a picture of a box of ammo that, as I recall, was for Mauser and Borchardt pistols, indicating that the same load was compatible with both weapons. But, consider the age of your Borchardt, its value and the consequences if you break it. The mainspring is a complex mess of curves and laminations, and I know of at least one Borchardt with a brazed toggle link that may or may not have been broken by firing with rounds that were not designed for the piece. Perhaps out there in Lugerland there is someone with loading information that would not harm your Borchardt, but I'm not gonna shoot mine. I waited too long to get it and I can't afford another.
