Quick clarification, the 215 Gameking was being shot out of a 338-06 and didn't expand. It hit the phone books about 10' after going through the chrono at 2620 FPS. Based on the hole it left, it looked just like the picture you have above. As for length, it's a mixed bag. The 185 TTSX shoots great at 2.88, which is mag length in my Ruger, and equates to .053 off. That's the first place I tried and it works well so I haven't tried anythingelse with the 185 TTSX. The 210 Scirocco II shoots very well at 2.827 which is .025 off. It did not shoot well when I first tried it. I switched from BR2 primers to a 215M primer just to try things and it now shoots consistently .5" groups. I tried 2.84 and the groups were much larger again. I shot the 200 SST at 2.88 (.033 off) and it shot terrible. I loaded up more at 2.82 to see what would happen, but ended up shooting them offhand/kneeling, etc, as they are not going to be a hunting bullet.
All my good 338 Fed loads are using TAC right now. I will try the Alliant 2000MR with 200 Trophy Bonded Tips once it's all available.
