Heavy bullets are typically higher in BC and bullets with higher BC's resist wind deflection better than light bullets and maintain downrange velocity better than light bullets....
The published BC figures are only valid within a narrow velocity range. None of those BC figures are even close to reality once we go below the speed of sound.

Subsonics have a very short range and do not tend to bleed velocity very quickly regardless of weight.
