I would say it depends. There is the physics to consider. Total recoil impulse is generated by mass of ejecta and velocity of same. This would indicate, as posted above, velocity and bullet mass being equal, a heavier powder charge will generate more total recoil.
Then there is the subjective and other class, influenced by caliber, barrel length, firearm weight, firearm fit, action type, and other factors that are not well understood such as gas velocity and dampening in the action mechanism itself and how recoil is perceived by the shooter. One can find a load for example with a very light charge of fast burning powder that will achieve same velocity with noticeably less felt recoil in a blowback operated handgun. The opposite effect can be noticed with a slower powder at same velocity in a different action mechanism such as the Browning HP. This is all subjective. I can absolutely say, after many thousands of rounds on the trap and skeet field, a heavier charge of WSH definately shoots "softer" vs a significantly lighter charge of Red Dot, Clays, or WST pushing the same 1 1/8 oz of shot at the same 1150fps.
