Not the 52 but with 55 vmax I run 24.5 Benchmark. I run Benchmark with any 50-55 gr. Extremely accurate.
 
In the 50-55 grain range, I mostly use H335..60 grain and up I find Varget is hard to beat for accuracy, but its not the fastest. AR Comp and Tac generally provide a good blend of speed and accuracy, just not the best of either
 
I have had excellent results with Benchmark, Varget and Tac for bullets in the 50g to 55g range. Have always wanted to try the 60g Partitions, they should also do well with these powders.
 
+ 1 for the above.
My rifle loves 53gn V-max and also 55gn BT with both Benchmark (BM2) and Varget (AR2208). 24.5gn Varget has proven to be the ducks nuts for me in my Tikka T3 using 55gn BT shooting best group of 0.2" at 100m

I get a lot of new people shooting, here are some loads starting with one you've requested.

52gr Sierra hpbt
25.8gr Varmint PP
2.260 COAL

50gr ZMax
28.0gr CFE223
2.262"

40gr Nos Varmageddon HP
22.0 IMR 4198
1.905 to ogive. COAL is all over the place with the tips, if you only use coal, right around 2.205" will give you about .224" in the case neck.

70gr Nos RDF
23.0gr AR Comp
1.922 to ogive, gives me an COAL of 2.370". This is .010" to the lands in my rifle, only one that's really rifle specific.

All these are shot in a Rem700 SPS Tac 20" barrel, with Wyatt's mag so I can load as long as I want. These are all accuracy loads. All produce less then 1/2" in my rifle.

After reading all posts and checking my powder inventory, I settled on Varget. Used 25gr Varget with WSR primer and a 55gr BT with excellent results!
Thanks everyone!
