Yes, but 20 grains difference for a 22, your not going to notice. Also, your not going to be shooting real far with a 22 to be concerned about bullet drop.
also with the higher velocity is the almost explosive type fragmentation when they hit small varmints.
Depends on what type of bullet your shooting. Hollow points yes, soft points, not so much.
One downside with the lighter bullets is that wind affects them more.
.22 is so small, wind will affect them both about the same really.
For punching holes in paper it does't matter all that much, at least to me.

Think of shooting a deer with a 270 and then shooting prairie dogs with a 270.
Heavier bullet for the deer, lighter bullet for the prairie dog. No need to overkill a prairie dog and waste the extra lead and powder.
Same goes for 22 in theory........
I reload all my ammo..................lots of time to play and study
