Quite common yes. Often used for long rang hunting applications as when impact velocity decreases the softer ELD-M expands quite reliability and creates good wound chanels. Some harder purpose built hunting projectiles leave the risk of not having enough expansion if no bone is hit at longer ranges.

Also a lot of people(including myself) use the match model(still going on the 162 amax) in short bushpig setups. Driven at moderate speeds they are very effective close range projectiles and still retain enough energy and expansion abilitues to shoot out to 500m ish- give or take depending on shooter ability, load consistency etc.
