Ammunition makers do not blend lots, they accept a lot of powder from the manufacturer and load it as-is.
There are two considerations, can target velocity range be reached with that lot of powder at acceptable pressure limits for the cartridge. If performance within desired parameters can be obtained they load that lot of powder with the calculated powder charge until it is gone. Several cartridge types may be loaded from a single lot of powder.
