Question 180 vs 150 ,30-06....velocity difference

With a 30-06 Marlin XL7C and a Hawke 3 x 12 SR6, I will try to get 180 grain and 150 to have the same velocity. Will that give them the same bullet drop? If the same velocity, the drop should be the same right? If the drop will become different at what point will the drop change.
The eight loads I will test are:
180 Nosler Partition with H4350 54g and 55g,
180 Nosler Partition with H4895 46g and 47g,
Hornady 150 spire point with H4350 55g and 56g ,
Hornady 150 sprie point with H4895 45g and 46g.
Anyone have any thoughts?
I will try to get a crony and get the loads as close as possible.
