You won't find a 125g .30 cal bullet suitable to load in the .30 luger.
Search on this subject there are several threads with much info on the trials and tribulations of getting the .30 cal luger to run.
Most of the problem centers around "weak" commercial ammo.
Reloaders can solve the problem.
93gr is the "standard" load for the .30.
In 9mm the original was 123/124gr and evolved to the currently standard 115gr. There are many variations of 9mm loads also, but the caliber is a little more forgiving of the load.
I have succeeded in geting all manner of .30 luger to run, from a 2.5" bbl to 11.5" bbl, sometimes by varying the load and others the load and the recoil spring.
Maybe you will be lucky, some, even many run great "out of the box" so to speak. You will find Privi Partizan ammo is hotter and has worked well for me. There are at least two different loadings of Fiocchi out there, one works- one does not.
But please do the search and read.
