With... what in the voids?For any given volume, solid lead blocks will be denser than packed tungsten shot.
You're comparing apples (solid lead blocks) with oranges (tungsten shot). Try comparing red apples (solid lead blocks) with green apples (solid blocks of tungsten particles and some other metal as the matrix) or oranges (lead shot) with tangerines (tungsten shot).
As mentioned already, the size distribution is very relevant. A mixture of large and small particles will pack denser than uniformly sized particles.The size of the shot isn’t relevant
