Would you say that if the jacket isn't ripped or cut (but may have some scuffs) then it's ok? I'll sometimes pull more than necessary just to ensure it goes through all the way, then pull it back in from the other side.

I would think so. It would be quite a feat to break those copper wires without damaging the jacket. And I think your "pull extra through to inspect it" strategy is a good idea. Again, the wire pulling lube will help - it is water based and made for this application.

Great. Thanks for the input!
