I don't think there is an equation per se, though Ackley's book may have something in there somewhere.

In my opinion, if you can't fill the case with powder as a standard round, then providing more volume is near the point of diminishing returns at the outset. I like improved cartridges, but I am not that anxious to try the 17 Rem Improved for that simple reason.

Another issue may be the feeding of the long, skinny case with the sharper shoulder.
