Saw that you and I are only ones with no replys. I don't know much about the Magnus products. I have been very happy with Grizzlys in 160&190 gr. labor intensive to sharpen, but I haven't found anything better for deer and tough hogs. I have shot almost through deer and broken leg on far side with no damage to the griz. I hunt Alabama River swamp and have lots of hogs to test broadheads on,You might want to check out the Grizzlys.  Be safe out there.

Don't have experience with them, but every ad I've seen for the killer bees is being marketed to crossbow shooters. I do know the stingers are great broadheads.

While it may target the crossbow market it's main difference seems to be that it is a non vented version of the standard Stinger models.

They are very flimsy compared to a regular stinger or buzzcut. I tried them and will never waste my money again on the killer bees

My answer above didn't really address your question so let me make that right.
I really like the regular vented Stinger and Buzzcut... especially the 150 gr. They are very tough, fly perfectly and very sharp from the package. Touching them up after shooting is a breeze and the stainless construction means they will hold their edge when carbon steel would oxidize and dull.

Since the Killer Bee is only available in 100 and 125 gr. and non vented you have to ask how they kept the weight down. Thinner material on the blades? Aluminum where there could be steel?

What TxAg says doesn't surprise me.

I should've also noted that the buzzcuts and stingers get 2 thumbs up from me.....just dont care for the killer bees

Would love for them to come out with a 200grain 2-blade stinger...1.5" cut width.  I think it could be done...Single bevel option would be tight.
