The ohms measurement on most DVMs is not greatly accurate.

How inaccurate are we talking about? I would think it's better than
the 1% of a precision resistor. If most meters are worse than that,
I'm surprised.

What meter do you have ? My Fluke's worst performance is on the ohms range.

I have an Extech model 380282. (Doesn't have the name recognition that
Fluke has, but it's a pretty good meter and cost 300 $US new.)
