Since I cast my own, I have no interest in plated wadcutters. I have used DEWC for some very, accurate loads in my 38 Specials and my 357 Magnum with normal "target loads". I also have a load for my 38 Sp. "House Gun" that is a 145 gr DEWC, cast from my BHN 13 Mystery Metal, over a max. load of W231. It gives me pretty good accuracy out to 20 yds and I believe the flat front bullet traveling at around 900 fps will be pretty effective...
