Default COAL vs. how deep you seat the bullet

First off, let me say I follow the manual to the letter. I don't screw around and make guesses at loading. If the load book says it's fine, then I roll them out low and work them up to what I want within the limit. None of my loads are hot and heavy in the first place. My issue is just why the lowest common denominator type answer like a Cartridge Over All Length and not just a bullet mass in grains with amount of seating depth compared to what amount of powder gives this amount of pressure and it's all in a graph? What am I missing here?
