22 Hornet twist rate question

Ok, so I see differing twist rates when it comes to the Hornet, some are 1x14, others 1x16 and even some custom jobs for heavier bullets. My question is this.....between 1x14 and 1x16, is there anything to be gained? Bullets limited to 40-55grains here. My initial guess is "no," but the slower (x16) might, by a smidge, run the 40-50 grain bullets better, or am I over-thinking this entirely?

I'm thinking seriously about trying some .22 cal air pellets fired by a pistol primer for nasty little yard-varmints like squirrels, etc. Thoughts?
