Can someone tell me the tip-to-lip length of the 7.51-inch nosecone?
Not the overall length including the shoulder, just the length above the BT edge.
Thanks in advance.

I tried to back into the length using LOC's Patriot.
Best I could come up with was: its advertised length of 101" minus 78" of supplied BT lengths = 23 inch nosecone, give or take.

My OpenRocket parts database has it at 22.0", based on published data from Apogee. The current LOC website does not specify the length, so this is good confirmation that it's actually 22". @Mhight or @rharshberger if you can weigh that thing it would be great, there is a large discrepancy between the LOC weight quote of 1.2 lb and the Apogee mass of 876 gm (30.66 oz).

Thanks for the confirmation!

Weighing mine would be useless for you at this point, it has 3lbs of nose weight, a removeable nose weight tube, and a nose avbay, and its foam filled a round all that....but the 30oz Mhight quoted is about right for what it originally weighed iirc.
 
Thanks!! Updated the database to note that as confirmed, and wrote to LOC about putting the info on their website.
