Hi Trev
I use nichrome wire for low resistance resistor, I know it is difficult to measure but if you put a bit in and shorten it till you get the result you want, it works but a bit low tech, after you calibrate one piece then you can get many from a piece of wire. Make a pin jig to wrap the ends around for termination.

All the best

PS: Jaycar had a low ohms kit available a few years ago might be a good thing if you are playing with low ohms applications, the other way is to measure a meter of the wire to bet a base line resistance and then use measurement to get a close to it resistor.
