I was in the same boat here in UK, couldn't find it anywhere. In the end
I used a jeweller's hexagonal drawplate and made my own by pulling round
brass rod/wire (when does rod become wire?) through it. It worked very
well; and I can make lots of different sizes.

Its not difficult to find. It is sold by many model engineer suppliers.
Here are a couple

hex list, its not necessarily in ascending size order. I have dealt with
this guy he seems quite good.

These guys also list some sizes in the PDF catalogue
http://www.mallardmetals.co.uk/

I got some from Metal by the Foot which is on the web. THey are
located in KCMO and I've gotten material from them for years. THey
will cut material to whatever length your needing which is really
handy.
