I have a Mod 52-2 and never had a problem with FTE. Do your cases just stay in the chamber with the ejector pulling over the case rim or your gun just isn't throwing the cases out far enough to eject cleanly?
Having said that I use Rem brass bought from Cabela's, Midway, ect. and I have used Rem. 148 gr. HBWC and self cast 148 gr. H&G # 50 with 2.7 of BE. I also keep this brass for the 52 separate from all my other 38 brass and never use it in any other guns.
I trim ALL my cases to .010 under max lenght and have never had a problem but my friend did with his 52-2. Once he trimed his cases back to .010 under max his problems of FTE stopped.
The 38 special is a tight fit on that mod 39 style frame and your cases if not trimed properly may be hitting on the case mouth upon ejection.
I have had problems with FTF because of bad springs in the magazines but that's a different issue.
