I see your using the 1/16 snare in your power rams. I’ve noticed an others have also noticed that there are more chew offs on the 1/16 compared to the 3/32 snares. Have discussed this with the snare shop and they also have heard this complaint. So after researching this problem with many trappers as well as manufacturers we have come to the agreement that the power ram is fraying the snare when set off. Because of this information I am using the the #4 3/32 replacement snare in my power rams. I have also added the 385lb brake away to release any deer that come along. This will be my third season using this set up and I have lost only 2 coyotes that I am sure of and have not killed a deer.
