I used a Dremel to cut a slot in the barrel, then pinched the slot

closed and soldered.  I found that I was able to solder successfully

without getting the wire anywhere near hot enough to melt the

insulation, so if that's a problem I'd suggest trying less heat.  Here

are some pictures, down about half way:

 Perhaps I'm just being dense, but why not just get the appropriate sized

 uninsulated ring terminal for the wire you want to use rather than stuffing

 with more copper? If you want to solder a #4 wire, a #6 or maybe #8 crimp

 terminal would probably be the right size for a snug fit. You can also make

 your own, using soft copper refrigeration tubing -- whatever best fits the

 wire, squeezed flat (in a press if necessary) and drilled at the end.
