What you propose is indeed a way around the problem. The only problem is you could be trading one problem for another.
Since a number of electrical takeoffs are located on the input lug of your amp meter, when you blow this large fuse you will lose most if not all power to everything else. Now, you are replacing the fuse...but for what reason? Did you just over amp your meter or have you had some sort of short develop? If it's the second reason then when the fuse is replaced, it blows again. As the old saying goes, "Now whatta ya going to do?"
