Negative. Bullet weight is already accounted for in the BC value. The math related to external ballistics is quite advanced and well-understood, which is why BC values and ballistic calculators are typically very accurate, and closely representative of real-world results. If experience doesn't jive with the math, it's because you've missed some other factor that affects the results. In this case, spin drift and issues surrounding stability play a part in how a 90 and 185 VLD compare in the wind.
