Have you tried SJS Cycles?

Some of those shimano hubs with oversized alloy axle the cone is integral to the axle - so you'll need the "axle kit"
LikePart 1 on this diagram:

If I was at work, I could check availability.
If madison don't have it, you probably can't get it - the only solution is to buy another hub to strip, which could easily be cheaper anyway.

We often buy hubs for fhb/ axle assemblies for this reason.

Just a quick google search, 775 axle kits, probably could help with other cones too.
