[QUOTE="MT4XFore, post: 496784, member: 4945"] It sorta seems that way, doesn't it? Tricky's figures show you that the lighter bullet's higher BC does make it shoot a bit flatter than the heavier one. But I dont think that is what you are seeing. Almost anytime you change even one component in your load recipe it will most always result in a POI shift. That's because the bullet is leaving the barrel at a different point in the barrel's oscillation. In other words, you've changed the "harmonics" of the load/barrel combination. Because of that, heavier bullets may fly higher at a given distance than a lighter one, in spite of the velocity. The opposite can happen too. All it means is you need a different zero with each bullet. Sucks, huh? So goes reloading and shooting! Some rifles will shoot different loads to the same spot, but it is really rare. Good Luck.
