In 1:1 work, a centre-punch is used to help accurate drilling. I try to apply the same principle to modelling and use the tip of a very sharp blade to centre-pop the hole I want to drill.
With gun barrels, I often use an undersized drill bit to start with and increase the size of the bit until I achieve the desired bore size. That enables off-centre holes to be corrected by drilling at a slight angle before moving to a larger size bit.
Interesting question and I'm looking forward to how others tackle the problem.
