Alternative to Bullets

One thing thats made a diff for me in working with the big bullets - once you've got it tinned, don't take the heat off of it. You've got to be ready to pick up the wire and shove it in there, so it takes having everything ready.

Not heating both the tinned conn and the tinned wire at the same time made a diff in the quality of what I get when its finished - they're better now.
