The length can vary from mould to mould but also they can be squished and/or elongated depending on sizing. Also, if measured with GC the thickness of the GC and whether seated flush, if the sprue cut cleanly or left a bit sticking out and if dished shaped can make several thousandths difference.

I have a old Ideal 358156
.681 with old style thin brass Lyman GC (Sprue was cleanly cut)
