Remingtom Factory 148 gr Wadcutter
FWIW: Here is a picture of a Remington Factory 148 gr. wadcutter. The OAL is 1.18". You will notice that it has a nice roll crimp and the lead protrudes a few thousands above the case.
I took one of these apart carefully and it appeared to hold 2.8 gr of Bullseye. I'm sure about the weight and the powder looked to me to be the same as the BE I had on hand, but I can't prove it was BE.
I posted this because in an older article I read about the 52 the author said he was never able to achieve the same accuracy with hand loads that he got with Remington factory loads.
