This book also states that the most acurate charge tested was 52.5 and this was also the starting load. Even the Lyman 49th edition starting charge is 52. Am I missing something?

No..you are not... It's just that 52.5 grains of 4831 is a pretty mild load for the .270...I believe Jack O'Connor's pet load was 60 grains with a 130 and 58 grains with a 150... Might even have been a couple grains more..
