not much. What is the caliber of the projectile? A 21 gram bullet is not very heavy but if it is of a larger diameter it would have more drag on it therefore it would be harder to reach target velocity of 434 meters/sec.. Also the larger caliber bullet would require more powder and increase the recoil. A 22 or 17 caliber (or even smaller) could reach your test parameters with much less powder (and subsequent recoil). My overall reaction is that it would be a very managable recoil.

Momentum = 1/2 * mass* velocity^2
(0.021 kg/2)* 434 Meters/sec = Momentum of the rifle
(kg-m^2/sec^2)
velocity of the rifle = Sqrt (( 0.021/2)*434/2.6) Meters/sec
