Do you drill from the top down because the emerging bit causes the wood to split slightly, and that avoids the small splits from having to bare weight?
You definitely want to use the correct bit, and a drill with a level bubble built in. I also recommend the mount to be relatively close to a load bearing wall, and or “sister” the joist.
