I think that depends on your specific yard. My yard takes them as #2 insulated and they do require me to clip the ends off, otherwise they will downgrade it to low recovery. I also think many people on this forum would consider stripping those, especially those who have a nice wire stipper. I do not have such a tool, so I clip 'em and ship them. (Ok, I don't actually ship them, but I couldn't resist the rhyme.)
