They are all good. You can't go wrong with any of them.
Pick a spot and concentrate!

Try a KME sharpener, with some good diamonds stones you can take a stinger/buzzcut way past shaving sharp! I've certainly seen a difference since going this route several years ago.   :thumbsup:

They are sharp enough to hunt effectively right out of the package but I sharpen mine more anyway.  Ever since I learned how to sharpen knives to where they can literally split a human hair lengthwise, I've had an obsession with my sharp things staying SHARP.

The best I can do is get them duller so I don't mess with them until after I shoot through something.  :saywhat:

The 100 and 125 grain you can sharpen with an Accusharp. It won't work on the 150's because the blade is the same size as the 125's but with a larger ferrel to get the weight up.The Accusharp won't clear the ferrel on the 150. I use a little pocket carbide sharpener for those. Sharp out of the pack but I always strop them first. Killed critters with all three sizes, great heads.
