| Yes. I have no means of measuring this, but based on the physics and 
assuming equal quality and equal density of the braid, I would expect 
the larger coax to have better shielding.

 It will depend on who makes the cables you are comparing. If both are 
M17 rated then both should be double shielded and use silver coated 
copper conductors which is good but some manufactures may use 95% braid 
coverage while some may use less. Some may use 95% for both shields 
others may use 95% for the outer and less for the inner. Also the angle 
of the weave also affects the shielding effectiveness. This SE will also 
vary with frequency. But in general, esp for HF use, you will find both 
to have similar shielding performance as long as you stick to a known 
trusted & respected name brand. Also keep in mind the dielectrics are 
totally different between the two.
