Below is a table from:
Escoubas, Pierre & Lachlan Rash. "Tarantulas: eight legged pharmacists and combinatorial chemists." Toxicon 43 (2004): 555-574
The table is based on unpublished data. Escoubas et al. injected 0.1 microliter of venom in the intracerebroventricular (ICV) area (i.e. the top of the skull). For a sense of perspective a small drop of water is roughly 10 to 50 microliters. They then measured how long it took for the mouse to die. The caption has much more necessary info for reading the table. Thought I'd share.

Practically speaking it probably has small relevance to effects felt by humans when bit but still cool info nonetheless.
Again the table is taken from:
