Are we sure that's what this magnetism stat really is? Reticule magnetism isn't necessarily the same thing as bullet magnetism.

The first would be the tendency of the targeting reticule to follow or latch on to enemies.

The second would be the tendency of bullets to go toward an enemy (or to go toward a critical zone) even if the reticule position is slightly off.

I've always understood the "target acquisition" property mentioned on some gun sights to be based on the SECOND property, bullet magnetism, and initially I contributed to this thread under that assumption. However, several people have made posts which suggest they're talking about reticule magnetism. I may be right or I may be wrong, but I think we need to definitively establish which one this thread is actually about.
