No it wouldn't. All bs dodging claims are defeated by the fact that this projectile will have its path adjusted to hit her, unlike all the dodging feats you like to bring up where the projectile fires in a straight line or arc with no course correction and are easily sidestepped.
To adjust the direction in an arc = less the speed than a linear attack which= more than enough time to mount an assault or defense. If the projectile is to arc, then the it would begin in a linear motion inevitably--vertically , horizontally, diaganally etc. Then it would have to be halted from linear motion and made to arc.
Pressure dome happends instantly. Blocks it.
It's not like he can accelerate it instantly anyway, and it's not like it's coming at lightspeed . 🙄

Also, look up the difference between dumb fire rockets and guided missiles then know that difference.

It can be as guided as it wants, it doesn't happen instantly.
First he has to find the metal. It will begin a linear course(which she could dodge anyway, but that's not your argument). He would have to focus some to speed it up, then halt the momentum and then focus a little more to get it to arc.
Storm can think and the air molecules are instantly compressed around her. It's deflected.
If he "guides" it he has to focus to halt the momentum again and bring it back at her again.
The cat and mouse could end with Storm dropping a tornado on him before he can react.
These precious seconds mean a lot to people who's powers work at the speed of thought.

Step 1: Fire metal at target
Step 2: Put your junk in that box
Step 3: Adjust trajectory while metal continues towards target
Step 4: PROFIT!
Metal is easy to come by when your suit is made of varying levels of it, kind of depends on the day and suit.
Again, why is it deflected? Why would the projectile simply be cast aside like falling debris instead of continuing towards the target?

This is stupid.
You're not offering anything that disputes what I said. You're only basically saying "It's not as hard as you make it seem" without saying why.
Adjusting trajectory causes it to lose momentum.
You argument was that any object moving in a non-linear direction would do the trick.
My argument was that any extra "adjusting" takes time that Magneto doesnt have, and it takes away from the speed or the object, whether magneticall propelled or not.
The projectile would be cast aside because......it's a projectile 😂
Why wouldn't it be.
If it can "hit" her it can "hit" a wall of compressed air.

It sounds as if you suggest he'd have to stop completely to change its direction, which is ridiculous.
