I was told that it was easy to do moon photos by setting f16 and matching the ISO and shutter speed. This was f16, ISO 800 and shutter at 800th using a 100-400 with 1.4TC on a Canon 5D. It seems to work fairly well. My focus needs work since AF is inop with this setup.

Something close to the sunny 16 rule should work really well as you found. But why use ISO800? Maybe try a tripod and use 1/100s and ISO100.
