Given equal rifles that are equally accurate, I’d be very surprised if that trend turned out to be the case.
Fear of recoil isn’t the problem (at least not always). Recoil management is what robs accuracy. There’s a reason BR shooters use heavy rifles, chamberings with minimal recoil, and stock/bag designs that allow the rifle to recoil straight back with no muzzle rise. And many use free-recoil techniques, too...
