The main reason you won't see defensive or hunting loads for wadcutters is that the wadcutter form of bullet does not track straight when it strikes a fleshy target. Great for punching neat holes in paper; not so great for penetration. That, plus long-range accuracy, is the reason why the semiwadcutter exists, and is a better choice for self defense or hunting.
