If you have a good rest, this technique works really well. Just make sure that you're confident that you didn't pull the shot. The more accurate the rifle and load are, the more useful it will be, but it's a good way to get pretty close without shooting a bunch of ammo.
If you think about it, it makes perfect sense. Most people think about moving the point of impact (POI) to match the point of aim (POA), which can be confusing. If, instead, you think about it in terms of moving the POA to match the POI (which is what you are really doing) then the it makes more sense.
