16 degree or 15 degree coil nail interchange

[tbob]

I replacing my older Bostitch N70 coil siding nailer with a Metabo NV65AH2 coil siding nailer.

I have almost a full box of Bostitch 2" nails. The diameter of these nails are within Metabo specs. I'm using wire correlated nails.

The angle on the bostich nails is 15 degrees.

The angle on the metabo nails is 16 degrees.

Will they interchange? Does 1 degree make that much of a difference?

Thanks, Terry

It shouldn't. If it was mine I'd try and see what happens.

I use the same nails in both my bostitch coil nailer & Hitachi siding coil nailer
some are bostitch oem, others are generic/ no issues
