Default wirenutting twisted and solid wire

Does anyone have a sure fire method for wirenutting/pigtailing stranded and
solid wire together? Seems like when I do it half the time the stranded
will pull out when light force is applied to the wire. Does it help to cut
the solid wire a bit shorter than the stranded wire so that the stranded
wire can wrap around the end of the solid wire and not push out when screwed
onto the wire nut?


That always works well for me.
