Only certain ammunition is called a wadcutter. This is a type of bullet that has a flat front, and is tended for target shooting. On impact with a paper target, it clips a neat, clean hole in the target like a paper punch. Back in the day when shotgun ammo used discs (called wads) of paper or felt, there was a tool used to cut these wads. A wadcutter. The bullet that clipped the neat hole was named after the tool that did the same thing.
