If you want 600 ohm I think you will have to roll your own. I use
commercial 450 ohm line myself. There will be a balun in your tuner (if
it
will directly feed ladder line) so why not just run the wire to the tuner,
and not bother with coax at all.

Many want to use a few feet of coax in tandem with parallel wire [open wire
600 Ohm or 450 Ohm window line] just to pass the transmission line "through
the wall".
If passing the line through the wall is the problem then just use a foot or
so of electrical mains "zip cord" for that short passage. Simply solder a
short piece of zip cord into the 450 Ohm window line at the appropriate
place to allow the line to pass through a small 1/4 - 1/2 inch hole in the
wall. The "impedance bump" caused by the short hunk of zip cord will never
be noticed throughout the MF/HF bands.
