>     Can anyone share his or her method for creating "the perfect hole"? 

    make the ring a tad small, within a quarter size, pound it on a ring
    mandrel, polish the hell out of it, rounding off the corners. I
    prefer to polish the inside of a shank with a small bristle brush at
    60-90 degrees instead of parallel to the shank.
