Curious if anyone know how they came up with the size name of conibears? 110? 220? 330? I do not think it has anything to do with the jaw size?

This is a question for Pete Askins. He worked with Woodstream(Victor) on developing many different traps. Tom Parr may also know.

millimeters?
It works out to be pretty close.
Just divide by 25.4.
I must do it a lot at work converting metric blueprints to inches.

If that was the case 330’s would be 13x13.

Then where does the 55's 60's 150's 160's 210's 250's 280's etc... fit in? Or how about the #40, #450, #455, #600, #700, #1000??? They are all out there among a lot of others too.
