Default Question for the enginners, 0.0016mm

The correct drill size for a 6mm tap is 5.2mm. As a decimal this is 0.2047.
My nearest drill bit is 13/64 which is 0.2031 a difference of 0.0016.

Will the hole be just that bit too small or does it more depend on the quality of the tap, I.E it does not snap due to being too tight?

Some drill bits are advertised as 5.2mm 13/64 but my Zeus book shows these are different sizes.
