[QUOTE="jeffwhitcomb, post: 1984210, member: 58952"] With the knowledge of this group, I think the reason that you haven't gotten an answer to your question is because I don't think it really can be answered by an equation. The variables that would need to be measured and inputted into an equation would be almost impossible. For example, two identical barrels (what we would call identical) are built and chambered. The steel will have its own imperfections at different locations, the rifling process is impossible to perfectly duplicate, the chamber reamer will have different amounts of wear and lathe setup will all have an effect on how a barrel responds harmonically and how seating depth will effect accuracy. It was suggested before to speak to the bullet manufacturers and I believe that would be a great resource to understand a little more about why certain bullet designs are more forgiving in terms of seating depth, but all other factors (mostly human and tool wear) nearly prohibit a mathematical solution to what seating depth is the best and why it is.
