Looks like Northern Brewer would be better, but I bet for a long boil (bittering only) you'll be ok.

from hop union sub for GR Magnum
Columbus, Nugget

If it's an IPA and you've already got Columbus in there, go for it.

Columbus Tomahawk Zeus, called CTZ, is in the American Citrus Hops family. Magnum is in the German noble hop family, I would try Perle, northern brewer, Willamette and Mt. Hood.
If your making an american IPA then the Centennial or CTZ would be fine. Magnum is a very oily hop and that means lots of flavor when used late.

Here's the hops schedule. Magnum and Columbus for bittering hops. I'm starting to think I should just try to pick up the Magnum or Northern Brewer. Hate to spend $$$ for shipping now though for a few ounces of hops. But don't want 10 gallons of beer that isn't properly balanced.
It's supposed to be kind of like Three Floyd's Alpha King Ale.
0.5 oz Magnum (13.0%) - added during boil, boiled 75.0 min
0.75 oz Columbus (15.0%) - added during boil, boiled 75.0 min
2.0 oz Cascade (5.6%) - added during boil, boiled 0.0 min
1.0 oz Cascade (5.6%) - added dry to secondary fermenter
1.0 oz Columbus (15.0%) - added dry to secondary fermenter
1.2 oz Centennial (10.0%) - added dry to secondary fermenter
1.0 ea WYeast 1056 American Ale

Just add another half ounce of columbus instead of the magnum, in a 10 gallon batch, I would be willing to bet you could not tell the difference, just my .02, good luck with your brew, sounds tasty.

I've used Magnum & Columbus as my two main bittering hops for IPA's & PA's. They both work fine for that purpose in my beers. I think many newer brewers get hung up on strict substitutions or hop usage, it's fun to swap them and play around.
