What are you planning to shoot with it?
The most versitile load with be factory pack 158 gr jacketed softpoints. Most will shoot well in almost any carbine without any fiddling around. Fairly inexpensive, close to .30/30 power, will kill deer as well as most anything.
125 hollowpoints is a viscious load in a carbine. Bullets will open very quickly...penetration may be a problem depending on what you are shooting.
Of course....many here will recommend a cast bullet of on kind or another. When properly matched to the gun they work wonderfully...still...they do require done right or the gun will never shoot well.
