Are we comparing ballistics on the moon to ballistics on earth?

I think you better go back and check you physics. Or just for fun, go to http://www.jbmballistics.com and use the simplified trajectory calculator; run it twice, changing only the weight of the bullet and compare the drop tables. Notice how if everything else is equal a 220 grain bullet has the same trajectory as 45 grain bullet. Of course there is no such thing as a 220 grain bullet and a 45 grain bullet with the same BC.
