Here's a brand that I found that seems to do that.
I have no other info beyond this:
Tremor Solid Boat Tail (SBT) Slugs.
.25cal. 40.00gr.
Cast — Not Swaged

Hi Airgunners !
I make these , LSWC 3/4 , but only in .25 caliber .
These are the Franco’s Slugs but a hacker/scammer made my user Jesfraco to take advantage of other members .
Thanks !

"Semi-wadcutter" is a term that can be used for various projectile designs. Can you explain the design you have in mind in more detail? And its intended use? We're always open to new ideas.

𖤓 I love the way that H&N wants to hear from their customers.
𖤓 And I love their openness to apply German engineering to airgun projectiles.
There seem to be a considerable group of shooters who like wadcutters (or semi-wadcutters) for short-range pesting.
They swear by the bricklike impact and large hole wadcutters make in the quarry. Always provided the wadcutter has a high level of precision (something that the hollow points with the extra-wide cups don't seem to have for a larger group of shooters [but that's just an impression, no statistics or anything....).
I have been reading up on wadcutter use and effects and would concur: It's a good option.
Heavy wadcutters for today's powerful PCPs were rare (and needed!) — until recently when JTS started offering the 18.8gr (and Apolo/Air Boss the 17.0gr).
Here and there I keep hearing the regret that there are no .25cal wadcutters.
There is the Eun Jin/ Air-Ventury Seneca "dome" that is almost like a semi-wadcutter in .25cal, but it's heavy: 35.8gr.
A .30cal wadcutter would be interesting, but I doubt there'd be enough interest to warrant large scale production....

Semi-wadcutter in .30 would be 95 - 130 gr. I doubt anything short of a big bore could handle that size slug.
But a look among the cowboy shooter supplies will have them readily available.

Well , yes and no . These slugs comes with round nose but make holes like wadcutters .
I made before the hybrids like FX , but stop making them , too much work .
Also make a flat tip , something like meplat , see snap .
