A: Thanks for reaching out Daniel! The steel in a bimetal jacketed bullet's jacket is significantly softer than the steel that firearm barrels are made of. Although it is harder than copper alloy and will accelerate wear and tear to a barrel to a slight degree, bimetal jacketed bullets do not pose a real threat of damage to your firearm.

A: Thanks for reaching out Eric! The bullet does indeed have a bimetal jacket and will attract a magnet. Nearly all steel-cased rounds have bimetal jacketed bullets, although Wolf does occasionally load nonmagnetic bullets with steel cases. Remington's Freedom Bucket should take good care of you at any range which bans magnetic projectiles:
