Yup, this is what I dial in with my #87C BTFR as well.

The typical bracket with my Horizon 202 is 1/60s @ f5.6-11.
Never missed a beat.

This film and its typical sunny day application even makes one
question the use of a light meter in the first place, both internal
and external. 

People pointing at your lightmeter and asking "What is that?" is 
amusing, but people asking "Don't you need a light meter?!?" is even 
more amusing....;-))
In the old days they knew what a lightmeter was....in the very old 
days they didn't have a lightmeter at all!....:-))
