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.

No need to check... using your
own assumption.... everything else being equal would mean you are shooting in a vacuum.... and then BC is irrelevant!....so in that case a 45 grain bullet, a cannon ball and a feather would all have the same trajectory if initial velocity is equal.....
