Todd,
The usual reason for heavier bullets has been discussed above. Shooting long range is where the selection of the bullet by weight and other factors is much more important.
One thing not mentioned is long range shooting where a heavier bullet is not disturbed as much as a lighter one by wind and other factors. As well when shooting at a critter through brush and such a lighter bullet will not deflect as easily as a heavier one.
For the range its not a big issue either way but as long as you are shooting shorter distances any of them work fine. In other words, get the cheaper ones!
