4 pellets will be noticed when they're ignited. I do not shoot 4 pellets in mine, rather 3 T7M at 180grs. I use a PAST recoil pad and the muzzle brake certainly helps. However its not as bad as one thinks, unless one is recoil shy.

I'm on my 4th case of pellets this year. Last year was more as it was a mixture. I've shot up to 2,000 rounds each year in the last 10yrs since retirement. I know a couple shooters who have fired well over 10,000 rounds through their rifles and haven't worn out the barrel or the original breech plug.

I used to shoot 2 cases a year when I was shooting CAS full time. That was out of the 4 guns you use in CAS. Plus, competing every weekend.
Now it's more like 6-7 lbs a year. Mostly all practice, because i'm not one to always be working on different loads. I find what load the gun likes, and just stay with it.
4 cases a year is a lot of shooting.
