I've been advised before, that one rule of thumb, is for ever inch in dia or pitch increase/decrease will yield 100 rpm. So being that your starting with 52 in the only adjustment would seem to be pitch. 10x100 = 1000 so that would yield a 38 inch pitch. If your looking at static rpm the 10 inch reduction maybe to much of a reduction as the prop will unload as the aircraft accelerates generally 200 rpm or so.
