The force of gravity will make a slower round drop more than a faster round. It doesn't matter which one is heavier. The slower one will have a bigger drop over an equal distance.
While this is true, bullet profile and weight will dictate wind resistance and the amount of momentum the bullet has. The more aerodynamic, and the heavier the round is, the longer it'll take to slow down, and you may have better terminal ballistics.
