I dont think "speeding" is what gets mink, muskrat, braver and otter hip caught. Its trigger configuration and travel. Sometimes the trigger isnt tripped until the animals humped back hits/pulls it and with longer trigger travel, you get hip caught animals.

I take the basic set conibear 'front bevel; is for 330's or 220's. The beginning says- Here is an article I wrote which was published in The Trapper and Predator Caller magazine pertaining to adjusting large conibears.

Paul, is the filed bevel on front part of dog notch ONLY for large Conibears? Is front bevel needed for 160's or 110's?

Anybody have a mod for the bridge 155's that don't seem to have the trigger side notched deep enough for the dog to drop far enough onto jaw rod to set easy and not go off without trigger being moved? They are SO touchy. Any over dipping them really sets them off. Other wise a very nice trap IMO. Tried squeezing them to increase notch depth but that didn't really happen and just slowed rotation travel( too tight on jaw.

If you are just targeting coons, you can pinch your trigger wires together, put the tips of them in the chuck of your drill and twist them snug together, trigger wires will last much longer.
