Hi I need help on a question. Could you tell me where is it legal in the code to pull a larger feeder than necessary and size fuse based upon wire? Thank you in advanced.
Just thought of one scenario where OCPD may not be able to be sized for an over-sized feeder... and that would be when it is a service OCPD and cannot be rated any higher than the service rating. That would be the max no matter what ampacity feeder is installed on the load side.

The conductors are on the load side of the service OCPD. That would make them feeders.that would not be a feeder though. the OP asked about feeders. ...Just thought of one scenario where OCPD may not be able to be sized for an over-sized feeder... and that would be when it is a service OCPD and cannot be rated any higher than the service rating.
