When considering bullets for this caliber, do consider going the slightly higher price of HP or HP w/Ballistic Tip, over plain Spire Point or FMJs. The latter, being entirely made of lead and copper, are physically shorter than their HP cousins for the same weight and if loaded to max COL (=max charge), will not have much of the actual shank inside the neck when seated.
Of course, you can simply load them to a shorter COL, but that reduces the amount of space left in the case for powder and limits the flexibility of loading at whatever COL that fits inside the magazine, which produces the greatest accuracy.
Hornady's 125gr SST (#3019) looks promising if you can find them.
