pellet weights-opinions please

Alright chaps, opinions required.
Now I'm breaking in my gun rather nicely, I've found that it likes heavier pellets like the aa diabolo fields and (spit) gamo ts22's which come in at a whopping 1.6g's. both are achieving 5p size groups at 25m but the recoil, especially on the 22 grain gamos is tremendous and muzzle crack is far more than on, say superdomes. This makes me question the longevity of the inner workings if I continue to use them. Immediately you can feel the difference both in fit in the breech and the subsequent recoil between the aa's and rws's and I do get the odd flyer with the rws's.
Even 12m targets are much tighter using the heavies but I'm erring on the side of caution here as dont wish to cause premature maintenance to my rifle for the sake of the difference between a penny and a 5p.
What are your thoughts/opinions, am I just being paranoid or will I be looking at new inner working in teh next year or so.
Thanks
