I'm not sure what, if anything, is the significance of this tid-bit, but I figure that I would throw it out there to see who might know.

Is this flat spot befpre or after sizing? If before sizing it's from your case lenght being to long and the case mouth is hitting the slide/barrel while being ejected. This could very well be your problem as I and Gray Fox have stated, 52's are very finicky about case lenght.
If the flat spot is after sizing, throw away your old dies and get a new set. You stated that you were thinking on trying Lee dies. For the price Lee's are a good die that should work well for single stage presses.
