Interestingly, what I often find is that the first wound string gives me a lower inharmonicity reading than the first plain wire string. In the case where F3 is a wound string and the first plain wire string gives me a very high number, I usually go up the scale a few notes until the inharmonicity begins to drop to a more normal reading (the point at which the tenor bridge begins to straighten out often) and go from there. In the process of tuning I am then manipulating the notes around the break aurally to get whatever sounds the best.
