Bought a Porter Cable nailer from the great Home Depot. I asked for some
framing nails. The fellow gave me a box of them and said this was what I
needed.

Well, I get back to the farm, some 80 miles away. Open up the owners manual
and it tells me to use 22 degree round head nails. I look at the box and it
is 30 degree full head nails.

Question, will it make any difference if I use the 30 degree or should I be
prepared to go back to Home Depot and give the manager a piece of my mind.
AGAIN!

You should use 22 degree nails in a 22 degree magazine. But you can load
the ones you have and see if the nailer complains.
