anyone use Nikon 28-105 in macro mode?

I just got the Nikon 28-105 lens.
In normal mode (with a little calibration on my D7500 - -7) it seems to focus well and give sharp images.
However when I tried it in the macro mode for jumping spiders I found the results underwhelming in comparison to my Nikon 85 micro lens. Looks like focus isn't accurate enough and soft. These were hand held and maybe I am missing the VR that the 85 has. Though I though I had shutter speeds (1/200, 1/320) high enough to combat shake.
anyone have similar or different (eg 'great for macro') experiences?
