Cam feeder is high-strand so it's much larger than normal wire, and most people only have #2 or larger cam feeder. The breaker in the panel is obviously not able to handle wire that big; it's probably only a 100A breaker, expecting #3 normal copper wire. Using bugs to splice smaller wire to the tie-in tails is 100% fine, as long as the smaller wire going to that breaker can still handle the rated current.This is a far, far better solution than hacking half the strands off your #2 feeder to fit under the lug - that is outright illegal.</blockquote>
