If you use a 10 turn 50k ohm pot, you will essentially have a 2 turn 10k ohm pot. I don't know if that will give you fine enough adjustment or not. I guess you could try it and swap in the other pot later if that 50k ohm one doesn't work...

I seriously doubt that your multimeter will read 50,000 ohms of resistance. You need a pretty high quality unit to read that fine a scale.
