Yes I am basically referring to through hole dip's.  When they come in the antistatic sleves they measure almost .38" wide accross the botton of the pins. The pads on the PC board is .3".  I have not noticed this on the SX chips as much however they are the only ones I use a socket for.  The sockets are double wipe and the Sx chips fit in with a little persuasion.

I cannot understand why there isn.t some type tool that I could grab the IC with and by squeezing it get my .3" so it would just be aligned perfectly.
