Default prop nut

Most of the problem is running the motor too lean and it's kicking back and loosing the prop nut....
Just two cents worth....
.BigBird,
What is the 25% have to do with throwing props
Please don't take this as a smart*** question.
I'm asking because I know others who fly dfifferent engines and use anything from 10% to 25%
Is it the more severe hammering of the piston?
