Yeah, and they perform like you'd expect them to. The 127 Barnes LRX penetrates like a TTSX, the 142 Nosler AccuBond Long Range penetrates like an AccuBond, and the 143 Hornady ELD-X penetrates like an Interlock.

That said, I suspect part of the reason for the ABLR and ELD-X performance is the moderate muzzle velocity. When driven faster by larger cartridges the ABLR tends to lose more weight than the standard AccuBond, and the ELD-X tends to over-expand.

But one of the virtues of the 6.5 Creedmoor (and 6.5x55 and .260 Remington) is the moderate muzzle velocity, which allows a lot of bullets to work well. Same deal with the 7x57, .308 and a bunch of other cartridges.
