How’s that Magnus working for you? Would you recommend them over a g5?

I like how they fly (no problems out to 50 which is as much room as I have to shoot)and I can sharpen them to scary sharp in less than half the time it used to take on the Magnus stingers I used to shoot.
The first broadhead I ever purchased was a g5 striker and killed a 4 x 5 muley that same year, the blood trail was amazing and the deer only made it 20 yards.  The only thing I didn't like was the replaceable blade had broken inside the animal.  I switched because I wanted a single bevel fixed for elk and deer.
That was the long answer, short answer is yes I would.

Just finished building a dozen. Black Eagle Rampage 27.something length (too lazy to go to shop to measure), 350’s, four fletch Heat vanes (slight helical), White River wraps, installed an xtra 30 grains to the outserts, 100 GN Magnus Stinger 4 blades. I think 460ish total weight?

I've got 4 compound bows and 3 crossbows, so all sorts of different arrow combinations but they are all running Black Eagle Arrows. The Gold Tip quality is sub-par compared to Black Eagle. Shooting crossbows for years, since they are inherently more accurate, really showed the quality of Gold Tips as lacking and I've since moved towards Black Eagle only.
