Why not trim off a few strands of the #10 to make it fit and then, if necessary, cover with heat shrink? Sounds much better than another solder/butt joint and would have less resistance.
While discussing APP's, I was taught that connections should ONLY be crimped. In the nuclear power industry connections that were just soldered or soldered and crimped were rejected by QA as they would fail due to vibrations, movement, etc. at the transition from the soldered area to the unsoldered portion of the wire. Any that I have ever made have always failed at this transition. Essentially ALL connections in the electrical power/distribution industry are crimped for this reason. and they handle many more amps than a K3.
