Speer 75gr TMJ long range accuracy?

Has anyone tried the Speer 75 grain TMJ for accuracy?

I have seen only one test on youtube and it was just "ok" for practice but that was one guy with one video.

 

I think this is Speer's 75gr practice version of their 75gr Gold Dot.

 

I use hornady 75's for matches but the Speers were a little cheaper.

I tried some and was not impressed. 1.5 moa at best out of my barrel (20” WOA). Good enough for hitting long range steel on the cheap out to 700 yards at local range I guess.
 

Same barrel is 1 moa with 75 gr hpbt hornady and 1/2 moa with both 77 and 69 gr SMKs.

UPDATE:
Pleasantly Surprised!
100 yds
6X scope
18" White Oak 18" SPR 1:7
23.4 gr IMR-4895
Rem 7.5 Primer
LC Cases

5 shot group .910" (4 hole cloverleaf of .410 with one dang flyer!)

5 rounds same load same day with Hornady 75's & Winchester primers gave me .610"
Call me nuts but the hornady 75's work better for me with Winchester primers.

For the price they are fine for my purposes. I would have been happy with 2moa

Did not chrono.
 

I usually load Varget but rising prices have pushed me to use up some 4895.
