Total noob to 3-D printing here but did have something worth mentioning.
Just to keep your size experiments more accurate, I would suggest drilling to size about .005" inside of the nominal internal diameter you want and then using a reamer of the desired size
to remove the final bit of material. It will make the hole much closer to round and within thenths (of thousandths) of the ID you were shooting for.
Drills are sloppy. I've worked as a machinist and a carburetor rebuilder and I've seen the damage people can do thinking the size on the drill is the size of hole you will get.

Hi, I've done exactly that with a new nozzle. Will install it tomorrow morning, I had some problems with the PETG filament jamming in my hotend, so want to fix that first. Maybe I'm printing too hot, not sure, as yesterday the filament didn't jam on the same print... Actually, the PETG doesn't jam, but it somehow creates backpressure, causing my extruder to jump back. At one point the PETG filament curled up in my extruder and all failed. My extruder is pushing really, really hard, and still it jams in my hotend.
Strange things happening!
