It's important to do this to make sure the bullet fully seats in the
connector. There is a pip near the end which initially resists the bullet
head going past it, you have to push a bit more to get the head past it and
the pip then holds the bullet on the back of the head (you can spend 20 quid
on a tool to do this or alternatively cut a couple of notches in the handles
of your least-favourite pair of pliers). If you don't clean off any solder
blobs or wire from the end of the bullet it isn't gripped properly and can
pull out quite easily, and the back of the bullet will be very near the end
of the insulating sleeve of the connector risking shorts.
