Actually, the grip length is the amount of the bolt that is  unthreaded, 
i.e., the shank of the bolt.

Also, they're British fine thread which is almost but not quite the same as SAE: the threads are angled at 55 degrees and the roots and tips of the threads are rounded rather than sharp. So your (SAE) die will change the thread shape somewhat - the less that you thread on those bolts with the die, the better.
