The 52 is a fun gun to shoot and will shoot much better than I. That said, being a one-load, bullseye gun it requires the shoot to use proper firing technique and proper ammo.

As noted above - you cannot limp wrist the 52. It also requires careful follow-through and is very sensitive to heel pressure.

As for ammo, the gun need case-mouth flush seated 148 grain wadcutters. You can use DEWC but optimal accuracy for 50 yard shooting will be had with HBWC over 2.8 grains of Bullseye powder. I have found my gun likes Hornaday HBWC. Use a taper crimp and you should be good to go.
