NTCH is the correct way to shoot any caliber Ar type rifle.

I would have to disagree. Putting your nose right up on the charging handle would not allow for you to get your entire body behind the rifle to absorb as much of the recoil as possible (especially a .308 like we are discussing), thus allowing you to spot your round and deliver a quick follow up shot if necessary.
For me to even try to get my nose close to the charging handle, I have to put the stock over my shoulder and cant my whole body. This position might work for some, but it is less than ideal when you need to manage the recoil of a heavy caliber and get back on target as fast as possible.
Lets not forget to mention how uncomfortable it would be if you were shooting suppressed.

Sir,
Quite the opposite happens. When you are not fully behind the rifle in a parallel spine to bore alignment, you short stock the rifle. AKA cannot get to NTCH. Do to the fact of your position being not right.
Shooting an AR in any caliber from .22lr up to 338 federal is the same process. Basic rifle marksmanship, part of the proper position index point for the AR-15 family rifles is NTCH. No matter the position. <span style="font-style: italic"><span style="font-weight: bold">(this is why for the first 5 weeks of testing the SCAR and ACR soldiers shot a lower test score on the Army Qual)</span></span> Because of no NTCH index point. We had to re-teach them how to find a steady eye relief to the rear peep sight. Once done the scores went back up.
All quality marksmanship programs teach this from the CMP, NRA High Power, USAMU, USMC Marksmanship Team and many others. Not just my company.
If you run a can, get a PRI gas buster. This is why they built that piece of kit, for such situations.

Agree to disagree... I have been taught that "NTCH" while I was learning very basic marksmanship early on in the Marine Corps. Tactics and techniques have since evolved. The last three precision schools I have been to teach the shooter to get directly behind the gun with your body as inline as possible to the gun. If you do this, you will have to stretch your neck like a giraffe to touch the charging handle.
