Default No such thing as 158 gr Wadcutter ?
I always see that wadcutters (WC) are "comfortable" to shoot. I also know that my S&W 642 is designed to work best with 158 gr bullets. But I never see 158 gr WCs. I see 158 gr semi wadcutters (SWC), and I see 148 gr WC, but no 158 gr WC.

Is there something about the higher weight that makes it impossible to manufacture a 158 gr WC?
