Here ya go, straight from the newest manual i have. Not the best picture

A couple of ways to approach this.

Use 125 grain load data and find an accuracy node at the bottom of the range using the OCW method. When I do this, I go to the Nosler website and find the powders where the most accurate loads for the powder were the lowest load listed.

I just did that and it suggests that IMR 4831, H414, and IMR 4350 would be good choices. Note, these are not reduced recoil loads just loads at the bottom of the range that will have less recoil.

For a true reduced recoil load, I use the Hodgdon Website. I would have no concerns substituting the 125 SST for the 130 TSX. I have attached a print out of the data. Note, they don't list a range just a single load. When I use this data, I only test 3 charge weights, the listed charge and .4 above and .4 below.
