Can anyone recommend a maker for sizing dies .710 through .840?
Thanks!

This would be for ball or conicals correct?
Likely you will need a friendly custom machine shop to make them.
For my bore rifles I just get moulds that cast at or +.002" or +.003" of groove diameter. No need for any sizing, just shoot as cast.
…..Your milage may vary
For round balls the Tanner ball moulds https://www.ballmoulds.com/ are your friend, for conicals I like Accurate Moulds out of Utah.

What sizes does Lee top out at? They make custom lead bullet sizing dies.
They will make drawing dies for jacketed bullets. All custom work.

Lee tops out at .510" or so, I suspect as much for reasons of commercial demand as anything else. I've lapped them out to .519", and made similar dies (7/8x14 threads) in .579". I think .710" would have to be made on larger threaad size.
If you've got a press large enough to load cartridges taking those bullets, just make Lee-style dies to fit your thread size. In an RCBS Rockchucker, you could start with a piece of threaded rod (or a bolt) in 1-1/4x12; that should be large enough to bore and ream to size bullets to .840".
