You should try a more powerful iron, or a soldering gun. I use my 230W gun to solder Deans and 5.5mm bullets. I let it heat up for a bit so when I put it on the Deans' solder tab it heats/solders so fast that the other end barely gets hot. It also helps to tin the wire/tab just before soldering it so they're still warm and the solder re-melts more easily.
