I opened up a Hornady Frontier 5.56 NATO 75g and see round silver beads… any idea?

It's a smokeless powder. Likely a large batch custom blend made just for them to meet their burn rate specs.

It's not going to be a canister powder you can buy off the shelf.

Unless there's something else you're trying to point out that I'm not seeing/understanding?
 
Looks like about any other ball type powder and there's no way to ID this stuff visually.
