I drop my bullets on an old towel, from a couple of inches up. They are hard enough to not be dented.
I only rest the mold on the rim of the pot until I start casting. Once I begin casting I don't put the mold down until I am finished for the session. I don't add lead to the pot until it is almost empty. The level of lead in the pot will make no difference in the cast bullets. That is only true for powder in a measure. Adding lead to the pot while casting lowers the temperature, possibly causing wrinkles in the bullet. When my pot runs low I add more ingots, then put the next mold on the rim of the pot and wait for everything to melt and come up to temperature.
