I'm just finding that since the stuff is cut first and then treated, the chemicals tend to make it expand a little and thus the bottom plates are wider than the top, non-treated wood.

It wasn't really a problem with the 2x4s, but the 2x6 stuff varies a noticeable amount.

I haven't had issues with either wood type as far as using my framing nailer goes. They both eat the nails about the same. Maybe the white splits a hair easier when trying to get an odd angle on it, but no blow throughs for me.
