A more accurate statement might be that the heavier bullet would produce a different "feel" or perception. The lighter bullet's felt recoil would be more of a quick, sharp slap, while the heavier one would produce more of a shove. Sort of like the difference between a stinging left jab as opposed to a hard left hook. You absorb the same energy, but your bodily reaction and recovery from the shock is different for each one.
