I can't provide any 125 grain loads, but my 99F in 300 Savage shoots 150s well using either 40 grains of IMR 4064 or 42 grains of WW-748. Speed is close to factory 150 grain ammo. I recommend using the Lee Factory Crimp die.
If you like 180 grain bullets, and I do, use 41 grains of WW-748 for a load close to factory specs. In my 99EG with 24" barrel I get 2,450 fps, but I get about 100 fps less in my 99E with 20" barrel.

Picked up the F from UPS (and a Leupold 3x9 on th way!) I must say that I like it a lot. It is very light compared to my R's. Imay need to start looking for more of these! It is missing the sight elevator and even though it will wear a scope my OCD forces me to replace that item. Does anyone know which one I need or if one of the ones from Brownells (they all seem to be for Marlins?) will work?

This add appeared in the March 1955 issue of American Rifleman. Before the year was done the 308 was also offered and advertised. They had a small but interesting review written on the new offering in this same issue I believe.
