Yes. Heavier bullets always shoot higher due to the heavier recoil moving the barrel upward more than a light bullet.
It seems backwards, but thats the way it is.

+1. The heavier and lower velocity (normally with a heavier bullet) round remains in the barrel longer causing the gun to rise higher under recoil.

That is actually a bit deceiving, all things being equal that statement is correct however. Like a ported barrel changes recoil, or a heavier charge on the same bullet will change point of impact.

Technically you are correct.
Since the man that started this topic was using the same gun to shoot two different weight bullets, I did not see fit to include that as it was likely that he didnt get his gun ported or use a heaver charge on the same bullet.

Seems to me that if you change bullets you also change charges, at least I do.

Me too..if I'm reloading.
If you are getting the storebought stuff you are at the mercy of wherever it wants to go. And most heavier bullets will shoot higher than the lighter ones.
