I've had good luck pouring pistol bullets from a bottom pour pot. Not so much with longer, or longer and heavier, bullets.
I have developed a technique with my RCBS ladle where I place the spout of the ladle into the bevel of the sprueplate, while the whole assembly is more or less horizontal, tip the whole assembly vertical for a count of 2 or 3 depending on the size of the bullet, and gently remove the ladle from the bevel to leave a sprue. I've been getting much more consistent pours as a result.
Thought I'd share.
