door pin bushing clearance

Can anybody who has replaced door pins and bushings comment on the clearance or allowable play for the door pins in the bushing? My pins measure 7.81 mm. Comments I've seen say to use a 5/16ths drill bit to open the bushing. 5/16ths is 7.93 mm. I used a lettered bit that measures 7.83 mm and the pin slides in freely and there's a slight amount of play noticed when wiggling it in place. Is this allowable or will it result in some door sag?

Is it better to be a little small on the bushing so the pin does not freely slide in?
