My chrono has shown that with *my* lots of powders H414 is a little faster than W760. With some mild loads in a 30/06 and 110 gr. bullet, the H414 was ~150 fps faster.

I think you will still find that it is a batch difference. I have tested 760 and H 414 side by side with the same componets and the variation was the normal 20 or so FPS you will find with any chronograph variation.

Agree. Guess I should mix all my H414 and W760 into one big batch and roll it around awhile.

I would not agree with that unless you are mixing the last spoonful with a fresh pound. (Thoroughly)
Better to work out a load for use and see if they shoot to the same point.

Why not mix them. Same size, etc. They're *supposed* to be the same, so I'd just be normalizing batch/lot differences.

It's not like mixing ball with stick powders.

If you have quite a bit of both 760 and 414, and would prefer it all acted the same, blending them together wouldn't hurt anything.

I did that with H110 and W296 after finding out they were the same powder, instead of trying "both" to find out which was better in a certain load!
