I like Lee's tumble lube DEWC's, but their 158-RF bullet is really nice too. It (the RF) has a flat nose that cuts big clean holes -- but they are not full-caliber holes like a wadcutter.

I don't know if you're looking for light target loads or "magnum" loads, but a DEWC loaded to 1.35" OAL with 7.0 grains of WSF or Herco is a nice almost-fullpower load. I haven't tried 6.5 grains of Unique, but it would be in the same ballpark.
