The heavier bullets retain their velocity, energy and trajectory better over EXTREME long ranges.
By extreme I mean 700 yds. plus.
The .223 55 gr. will shoot flatter than say a .223 69 gr. out to 500-600 yds. but will rapidly lose ground and eventually be surpassed by the heavier bullet, generally speaking.
