Providing the bullets are of the same design, a heavier bullet will have a higher Ballistic Coefficient. The heavier bullet will start at a lower muzzle velocity, but at some point down range the heavy bullet will pass the lighter bullet in velocity and energy. Heavier bullets are also less susceptible to wind drift.
Why heavy bullets are better for long range shooting.
