I have the Fedora block too. It's too short for the Fed, otherwise I'd use it on it. The straight sided dome is great but does not work for a center-dent due to its long, oval shape.
What size do you have? I used the Medium plus and it fit good, there was about a 1/4 or less of an inch space between where the shaper ended and the hat. I wetted the hat down and then formed it over the shaper. I used my fingers to get the top to form the c-crown on the block.
Here is the Fed IV
And this is the Akubra Adventurer
I also cut the brim down on the Adventurer.
