As it isn't as snug as I was expecting I am now wondering if I should run
some solder in as well.

With the right tool and matching crimp and cable a crimp connection
will almost always be more secure and reliable than a solder

vibration. Adding solder to a good crimp joint reduces its
reliability.



Why should that be?. Not that you'd what to do both normally;!...

Reduced flexibility, individual strands are liable to break away

I remember there was a long discussion here years ago when {what was his
