4 11/32 X 4 15/32 is PERFECT, just can't find anyone around here who can consistently drill to within 1/32 of an inch, and I usually end up with 4 3/8 X 4 1/2.  They tell me I shouldn't be able to "FEEL" 1/32 difference, but I proved to my driller I can and he didn't hardly believe it.

 I am right handed and use ZERO forward/reverse pitch in the fingers, with my middle finger zero lateral and my ring finger 3/8 right ( away ) lateral.

 My thumb I use a 1 3/64 oval insert at 50 degrees rotation with 1/4 reverse and 3/8 left (away) lateral.

  My thumbhole is offset to the left of grip center by 3/8 inch which leaves my thumbhole directly below my middle finger hole. ( Many claim this is impossible and only amounts to a raised ring finger, but there is some geometric difference because I can clear one well and the other not so well)

You have a long span, 7/16 reverse may not be too much.  If you think you're squeezing, I'd suggest trying 5/16, then if you don't start hanging try 3/16.  Continue reducing the reverse by 1/8 until you start hanging, then move back to the least reverse that allowed a free release.  Ron Clifton (Magic Carpet) has a good tip on this on his website.  --  JohnP
