You want an honest suggestion?
Brutally honest?
Forget the inboard light meter.
Forget any light meter.
For #25, and assuming a bright sunny day, simply use a bracket of 1/250s @ 
f5.6-11....for #87C, a bracket of 1/60s @ f5.6-11.
This not only gives you much more consistent results, but also a much 
better 'feel' for the film, since you can spot instantly what value 
created the best image in a given situation. And makes you more 
flexible when you use different cameras, mixing inboard with outboard 
light meters constantly....
