Actually that is exactly how I found my seating depth by pure luck. I have been using the OCW method thinking the Optimal Charge Weight was about finding a velocity node that was found within a charge weight band. I just recently learned that the OCW is mainly about finding the timing of the barrel harmonics and having a fudge factor in charge weights is only a side benefit.
I got lucky and my seating depth worked good with my charge weight as far as case fill and velocity with just one morning of load development. Could it get better? Probably....for my needs though it has worked just fine so far.
