Did you measure the inside length vs out side length of your grip? The prevalent grip cap size seems to be 1/8.
To trim or not trim. I don’t take an additional amount off for the grip cap, my thinking being I don’t put my hand on the grip cap when holding the club so it’s not really a factor. Different manufacturers use different methods to measure their clubs. You can find one make of iron vs another ,both described as a certain length, actually vary in length.
It’s really up to you. I don’t think 1/8 -1/4 variance would be detectable by 98% of golfers.
The important factor here is to get the progression of length exactly correct in a set of clubs.
