Bullet weight lends to deeper penetration, lighter bullets can be pushed faster at shorter range, frontal diameter doesn't change much depending on weight. Construction of the bullet effects retained weight, and frontal diameter. It's a balancing act, and always will be. Picking a bullet only because of weight, or construction isn't wise. Pick a balance that works for you.
