Pellet weight inconsistencies

So I really have too much time on my hands. I wanted to adjust my FPS spread on my Thomas HPX so I thought maybe weighing pellets and test the speeds with pellets within 8/100th of grain. I've got a decent scale, the A n D SHS, and started weighing FX med and deep skirts, Rangemaster shallow and medium skirts and JTS shallow skirts. I haven't pulled out the JSB's yet but to be honest the FX and Rangemasters are essentially JSBs. I weighed .22cal 25.39's. The JTS were the only pellets that weighed most consistently between 25.30 and 25.42. The others weighed as low as 24.90 to 25.94. I don't know how much those disparities actually affect a 50 yd or 100 yd shot. I've shot good scores right out of the tin but it seems, unless I'm overthinking it, that POI could change slightly based on the weight fluctuations. Love your feedback.
