The gear that you would use to measure DC resistance in relatively short lengths of wire is way beyond your typical $49 VOM.
I almost fell into the aluminum cored wire mistake. Some eBay and Amazon sellers are not very straightforward about the composition of the wire they are selling.
I found some all copper 1/0 "superflex" cable on a solar job last year. It was kind of expensive but was SOOOOOO much easier to work with than typical 1/0 copper.
