Dont know if it works out of a Garand, but had a 123grs. bullet from Lapua with 58.7grs of VV N550, COL: 84mm Cases: PRVI, Primer: CCI BR 2 for the M1917 with not bad success. The bullet weight is very similar so its eventualy a option.

They don't list any 125gr loads here but it will answer some of your other questions.

3031 works well
for some reason, 50 grains comes to mind from when I was shooting up a box of Nosler 125's, but don't have my manual handy. VERY accurate and cycled/ejected fine.

Use the Sierra 125gr spitzer or the Speer 125gr hollow point "TNT" bullet. These are outstanding, low recoil loads for the 200yd offhand and sitting rapid fire National Match stages.
These are .30-06 loads for M1 Garands and other military rifles.
50.0gr H-322 for approx 2,950fps
52.0gr Accurate 2520 for approx 3,000fps
52.0gr IMR-4895 for approx 2970fps
52.0gr H-4895 for approx 2940fps
These loads are proven performers in match conditioned Garand rifles, but also group well in bolt action match and sporter rifles.

3031 works well also
with 125s in the M1. My loads were right in the middle of the load range and accuracy was good with low recoil.

125 gr. bullets used to be quite popular at Perry in the rapid strings. Much less recoil and excellent accuracy. Nowadays the AR's rule.
