New Altas 100T Trucks too small of centering hole

I picked up some of the newly available Atlas 100T roller bearing trucks and noticed the centering hole in the bolster isn't large enough for most of the Atlas freight cars this truck would be appropriate for... Including the black plastic pins used for converting MTH cars to 2R. 

Rather then reaming the hole out to 3/16" I chose 13/64" for a much better operation and better fit once a screw is installed to retain the truck on the freight car.  Anyone else have this experience.  I've installed 40 pairs of these new trucks on Atlas, MTH and Lionel cars and have had to enlarge every single centering hole.
