Pull Rivet Hole Milspec

Does anyone know if there is a milspec chart somewhere for holes using pull rivets? I just riveted my leading edge onto the wing spar on my 7A build. Per Sterling at Vans, I used Universal Rivets on the two sets of end ribs and LP4-3 or 4 on the two center ribs. The most challenging one to rivet was the 2nd rib on the inboard side. I could barely get my hand and bar into position. Surprisingly, I only muffed up one rivet. I drilled it out and I’m considering just using another LP4 rivet instead of trying to rivet it again. The hole is slightly enlarged to about .13. Within a solid rivet spec, but I just want to make sure I’m within spec for a pull rivet here.
