You either get the appropriate amount of sugar out of your grain or you don't.
I tried to adjust for my inefficiencies the last batch we brewed by adding 1 lb extra base malt and STILL missed the gravity...
Didn't use 5.2 on that mash but I think I'm not getting the sparge water up high enough to get the grain bed up to 170. Beersmith doesn't account for that and only tells you to add x gals at 170 which DOES NOT get the grain bed up to 170.

Could be a good place to start. If you are doing multiple batch sparges you could slowly bring it up.
