The only thing I can think of is a starting load for BP RB loads. Whatever the diameter of the bore, that's your starting load, so lets say you have a .50 cal ML, you start out with 50 gr of BP, and so on. Or, multiplying a diameter by PI, (3.1416) will give you the circumference of a circle.
Regarding boolits, maybe the rule of thumb where we often hear and say the boolits should be sized to be .001" over the slugged diameter of the firearm barrel.
Then there is the one about shot guns and "square loads" and all of that.

The diameter rule that you can only beat your wife with a switch that is less than the diameter of your thumb? I think the shoe would be on the other foot if I tried that with SWMBO.
More usefully as Dromia suggests there is a rule that a bullet should be seated a minimum of one calibre diameter into the case neck.

It would seem there are few 'RULES', but any number of 'SUGGESTIONS'.

You really need to let the gun tell what diameter it wants!!

Shoot straight, keepem in the ten ring.
Case neck length is my guess. Needs to be one diameter in length from shoulder to mouth on bottleneck cases.

The diameter rule, bigger is better... In calibers you dirty old men!
I do size mine BIG!

I thought it was a device where you I put the diameter and it gave you the size of each piece of Pi......
You will learn far more at the casting, loading, and shooting bench than you ever will at a computer bench.

We have covered the diameter rule to the Nth degree?

This is a very informative thread. I now know the 'diameter rule' always refers to pie:
