I think what he meant is the bullet with the higher BC value. Heavier bullets usually have a higher BC than lighter bullets of equal design.
Muzzle velocity is momentary and bleeds off quickly, but BC, like a diamond, is forever. The stronger the wind and the worse the conditions, the greater advantage a higher BC has.
