Lee bottom pour pots are great, although they've been known to drip... I'd recommend an aluminum pan or aluminum muffin pan to catch the drips. Non-Teflon has worked best for me...
I also prefer an old pair of folded jeans to drop the freshly cast bullets onto, creates minimal damage...
And of course another pair of jeans or a small box to capture the sprues, as you smack the sprue plate back. I use an old dowel for the sprue plate... that's just me...
For new molds, specifically Lee aluminum molds, be sure to carbon the cavities with the flame of a match or candle, blackening them... trust me, this is a necessary step...
