My concern is if the link can be shortened enough to properly fit the 6.5 Grendel case, and still have the needed strength and flexibility.

I've long wondered if the RPD belt -- which was developed for the highly-tapered 7.62x39 case -- will give reliable operation with the relatively straight-walled 6.5 Grendel case.
