Its all personal choice and experience, but if you are asking me, I use Neatsfoot from a reputable source.It must be reputable for if not the genuine article it can cause problems...For some reason Neatsfoot does not Diesel in moderate compression guns like the old Vintage Bsa guns, 9ftlbs HW35 and pistols, and it keeps leather seals in perfect condition. It also does not seem to evaporate off....Ive used it for decades without issue....Silicone is even more perfect for the Leather, but not perfect for metal to metal contact, which will inevitably occur as it gravitates from one surface to another...Silicone eventually breaks down under pressure to its silica ingredient which can eat into metal when under frictional load with another surface.....so it has to be risky at best..The notable tuner, Tony Wall of SFS had terrible issues with silicone when he had a period of using it and dropped it for in favour of Lithium grease. Venom arms hated it.Also once in the gun, can be difficult to clean back out...Its also very bad for your skin.A good source for Neatsfoot (that i use) is Titan Neatsfoot which is genuine hoof ingredient....not the cheaper fish oil mix stuff, masquerading as Neatsfoot.
