From the Bench
Round beads want a straight or slightly bent shank. They will not clear the bend on a jig hook, which is what slotted beads are for.
On the Metal
No tungsten bead is pure tungsten. Pure tungsten is brittle at room temperature and cannot be drilled and finished at this scale, so every tungsten bead on the market is a heavy alloy. Ours runs 95% tungsten with a nickel-iron binder, which is the high end of that range. You get the density without the brittleness.
