Title: Type of oil to coat leather wrap
Post by: HoofsandWings on November 27, 2011, 09:15:18 PM: I understand that I should wrap the ml in leather to prevent water.
What kind of water preventive should I coat the leather?

For the leather my guess would be to use silicone spray. I treat my leather holster and ammo belt with silicone and this seems to not affect my handgun when stored in the leather holster.

That should keep the powder dry.
Thanks for the advice. These late ml hunts can be awfully wet.
