I just purchased a bostitch rn46 roofing nailer on ebay based on recommendations I’ve seen in this forum. I looked at Home Depot’s nail offerings and they do have several sizes of coil roofing nails but they say ‘for bostitch rn45’. Anyone know if they’ll work on the rn46?

As long as they're 15 degree, wire collated roofing nails, 120 per coil, they'll work in any roofing gun.
I have two RN46's and I'll tell you, the Bostitch brand nails, while more expensive by a few dollars, will function better in the gun and will last longer on the roof. I try to use the name-brand nails on every 30-year or better roof we do...it's cheap insurance.
