Bar material is kinda hard so put some pressure on the drill until you think it's fixin to break through into the slot and then let up. If you don't do it this way, the bar material will work harden and dull your bit.

I field tested that little oil hole for Oregon way back in the early '80s and found it was a great idea, especially for Stihl mounts with their low oil pump pressures.
Still use those bars today on my Huskys and never had a problem with them.
Just clean your bar rails and flip them regularly like your supposed to.
