I wouldn't want downrange LMG performance in close-range carbines anyway...makes for disastrous results in the house/CQB, and increases recoil over the current systems unacceptably. Trying to make a cartridge do what 5.56 does within 100m and what 6.5mm Swede does at 700m ain't gonna happen in the same gun with the same load.
Those GMX's are very long indeed. An alloy could address the solids and keep them within length. Tracers only need length for maximum burn distance, and there is plenty of that in 6.5's. I'd be more concerned about throat/barrel burn than anything else really, but the Grendel is very mild on throats in its current state.
