So, yes, you're correct. It could be that the plug cutter I have is just
out of spec (I'm sure it's possible) or my 3/4" Forstner is drilling
oversize holes. Fortunately, I was able to come up with a solution that
worked great and didn't cost me any additional money, so I thought I'd
share.

Well so that you don't have the problem in the future, checking the diameter
of the hole would be an easy way to rule out the forstner bit, measuring a
full cut plug with a caliper would insure that you are indeed getting the
sizes + and - the size indicated.

That said, if you are using a hand drill to drill with a forstner bit you
may be getting excess wobble and ending up with a larger than indicated
hole.
