Good shooting there Cayugad. And both of those are fine hunting bullets.

Using the same powder charge you should expect a heavier bullet to hit higher than the lighter one. There are two reasons for this. The heavier bullet generates more recoil, so the muzzle lift is greater. And the heavier bullet is moving at a lower velocity so it's in the barrel a bit longer as the muzzle is lifted by recoil.
