If I am welding a crossmember, I point the gun probably 5 degrees uphill, then let the puddle sort of fall down. I always oscillate the gun when I am Mig welding. It makes some nice looking beads, and if you do it right it makes really nice, strong welds. If you are welding flat, you angle the gun 5 degrees or so away from the weld (or into the direction of travel) and pull the puddle. Never push the puddle or there is a good chance of getting lack of fusion.
