Old hubs and spoke gauge problems

I've been trying to build up some wheels around a set of old gran sport hubs that I came across, but when I tried to start putting in the spokes, I noticed that the standard DT Swiss double butted (14/15g i believe) spokes that I was using BARELY fit in the flange holes, and by the time i tried to seat them at the j-bend they were in serious danger of gouging out the flange holes.

Does anyone know of any good (correct?) spoke gauges for old campy hubs, and who supplies these? I've been having a harder time trying to find higher gauge spokes in general and I'm hoping someone could point me in the right direction before I go about ordering another potentially incompatible set of spokes.

Thanks in advance.
