Twist rate will affect the recoil impulse but the difference is likely insignificant. I am not sure of the dynamics of it using gunpowder in a muzzleloader but the modern cotton burners build more pressure with a faster twist all else being equal as there is more resistance encountered pushing a bullet down a fast twist bore than there is down a slow twist bore. Higher pressure means more muzzle energy and possibly more pressure to provide a jet affect. Again the difference is likely small and not of any consequence but the physics say that there will be a difference.
