I use Konica 750 IR (120 size) and develop it in TMax developer exclusively. 
I give considerably less development than you gave to your film. I use 1:15 
dilution at 75 degrees for 5 minutes (in bright sun) to as much as 11 
minutes in overcast light (which is what I prefer), in a rotary Jobo 
processor. I have been exposing the film at 6 ASA (not metering through the 
filter). I have developed at least 50 rolls this way and am very happy with 
the results. I hope this helps. Let me know if I can be of more assistance.
