221 Fireball magazines for Remington 700

I have a Remington 700 BDL 221 Fireball for my ski hunts. It feeds the short cartridges perfect.
Due weather, I need to convert this rifle to a detachable magazine rifle in order to avoid frostbite. Even with the old CZ 17 hmr and 2 magazines, I get a borderline sting in a few fingers due reloading, so I've decided I need 5 magazines for my Remington.

I am unable to google up any solution for this. I find 221 followers for the BDL easy enough, but no magazines. Has anyone done this? Or will it be a full custom job.

The film shows the hunting and conditions.
 
All you gotta do is make a spacer for the magazine. Google up dasher in an aics magazine. Or you could get the ptg bottom metal that takes AR magazines and use a blackout magazine. They work well
 
I built a .20 Vartarg (221 fireball, neck down to .204) on a 700 short action. The action is from Pacific tool and Gauge, and the bottom metal is a stealth M5 that came with an AICS 5 round magazine.The feed lips on the 223 box magazine are too short to keep the round from popping out prematurely when sliding forward with the bolt. Having troubles finding a solution to the short round/Short feed lips for the .223 magazines. Does anybody know of a magazine with longer feed lips to keep the round controlled until it is further forward?98C8B5DC-58D0-463D-84C2-B369936B61E0.jpeg
 
Can't help you on the magazine, but nice build.
I have discovered that some specialist hunters in my area also use the 20 Vartag with 35gr Blitzking (I think ???) for the foxes and custom variation of Hammer copper bullets (no HP) for the big birds.
