300 mag likes 165gr and heavier projectiles better than 150gr
Take time to look at powder burn rate chart to help get a happy place.
In a belted magnum round they like full charges with case filling density. Bullet Seating depth becomes more critical.
Reduced loads or cases with less volume of powder can cause dangerous hang fires and weird acçuracy stringing

You may have better luck with a 180 grain.

I can't remember specific charge but I settled on H1000 with 180 grain Accubond.

I started with a box of factory 150, 165 and 180 to see which showed most promise before settling on a weight of bullet to start working on a recipe with the 180s.
It shoots the 155 grain browning matrix tip pretty good same as hornady 150 grain soft point in American whitetail
