You never know until you try it, but you should be aware that you cannot crimp a bullet unless the bullet has a crimping cannalure. I am not familiar with the 162 a-max, and whether or not it has a crimping cannalure.
In over 40 years of reloading, I have never crimped a rifle cartridge. I don't see a need for it, except possibly in a rifle with a tubeler magazine such as a 94 Win.
