Yep, no such thing as 158 grn wad-cutter.
They are produced solely as target bullets that "cut" a hole in the target on impact.
Everyone I have ever seen has had a super deep hollow base, thus, there isn't really enough lead to give the weight.
I would assume that someone makes a non hollow wad-cutter bullet that would carry more weight, although I would think that it would be a waste of lead.
I worked with police officers that carried REVERSE loaded wad cutters specifically for dog calls, and they would switch over to those rounds enroute to the dog call.
They were extremely wicked for that purpose.
