What's the reason for 7/16" hex bore? What's wrong with 1/2" ?
WCP sells a very nice one.

I won't try to speak for Sanddrag, but some teams (like 254) like to have round bearings in their DT. They have a 7/16" hex in the wheel (which can go through 1/2" round bearings) and a 1/2" hex for the DT sprockets. On the other hand, I've never had a problem with hex bearings, so I wouldn't say there's a problem with using 1/2" hex in wheels.
