Look at energy figures.

Most lighter bullets are moving considerably faster; and since energy is a product of velocity squared, they tend to have more muzzle energy.

More energy going out the front end means more energy coming back as recoil (if Isaac Newton knew what he was talking about...).

Moreover, heavy for caliber bullets tend to do better than lightweights, vis a vis terminal performance.
