Default TC shock spring strength variation

Have been running Axon shock springs for a couple of years. Decided to buy some Xray and Gizmo springs to try. When changing springs I wasn't getting the results I expected. So I setup my drill press with a digital scale to measure spring strength. Found that the Gizmo 2.15 springs were the same strength as the Axon 2.4. And the Xray 2.3 were between the Axon 2.6 and 2.5.
There was also a larger variation between the same size Axon springs and very little variation in the other brands. Now I am not sure if the Axon springs are just softer and have more variation then the other brands or do they lose strength with use. The Axon springs have a lot of use and the other ones are almost new.
