If the velocity and bullet weight is the same (which isn't typical) then the recoil should be as well (assuming the same amount of powder consumed); in other words, I don't believe the burn rate is important. The recoil due to powder mass is dwarfed by that of the projectile mass and therefore of little significance to begin with. I certainly can't tell a difference when a different powder is used to produce similar performance (though it is usually a similar powder weight to attain such performance). That said, I only handload for rifle cartridges, pistol may be a bit different.
