I don't know your meter as there are many difference measurement options. Cost versus technology. They will give the correct reading on a prefect 60 cycle sine wave but we don't live in a perfect world. All kinds of electronic devices trend to distort the sine wave. The only accurate electronic meter is a True RMS measurement, Fluke meters is one available brand.
There is nothing wrong with using your meter for troubling shooting and finding the drop between your pedestal and your inside equipment but what is the true voltage could be in question?
Good surge protection equipment generally if equipped will give good voltages.
