Voltage across a power supply choke likely includes AC as well as DC components.

"Voltage across a power supply choke likely includes AC as well as DC components. "
And the AC component is likely not sinusoidal. This is not a good place to measure current. It would be better to insert a current meter like Tre suggested, probably after the last filter cap.

Buy Chinese. Bury freedom.
The choke resistance will increase when hot - so it will read higher as it warms up. In fact this characteristic is used to measure internal temperature in transformers and choke / motor windings.
