Tikka 595 COAL magazine question

I'm about to rebarrel to a 6mmBR and I'm looking for what the max COAL the 22-250 magazine (part # S5840377) will hold. I would like to use the 105gr Berger hybrid and I want to make sure it will fit. I've seen people run the 22-250 magazine with the 6mmBR but I'm not sure what COAL they were using.

I would have to modify the feed lips of the 308 magazine and don't want to take that route if I don't have to.
 
That sounds like those are the 308/243 mags. The one I'm looking at getting have a block at the rear of the magazine and the feed lips are closer to the front which I'm hoping will help feed the BR case.

Pic of the mag is attached, not mine. I just don't have one on hand to measure. I guess I just need to order one if it's to short I'll just use another bullet or seat the 105 hybrids deeper than I was looking to.
