Length differences of rimmed casings are not unheard of.   Since they headspace off the rim - the case's length isn't as important as it would be on a rimless casing.   I've seen .357, .44mag, 30-30 and others off by a few thousandths, even a hundredth a couple times.

I wouldn't be too worried about a couple thousandths.   A great many people are using 2-5x reloaded brass that have never been length checked and are over by quite a bit more.

The Leverevolution brass is a lot shorter than just a couple thousandths, but should still work fine, if you need to crimp, use the Lee factory crimp die, no need for a cannelure.
