I don't believe it was always this way, but with corporate mergers taking place daily and Winchester shuting down US operations, it was probably inevitable that someone like Hodgdon would take the Winchester product line and incorporate it into their very own products and market the same thing under different names. The reason I'm saying this is I just noticed on Hodgdon's Reloading site that they list the same exact information for H414 and Win 760. The same starting load, the same max load, the same velocities, and the same pressures. I checked three different loadings under 308 and 3006 before coming to this conclusion. While not the most complete reference work I've done, It sure looks fishy. I'm posting this on several of my favorite forums so as to get the word out that you need to look at what you have on your bench already before investing into a powder that you might already have. Also, I have some 760 and H414 that is probably 10 years old. I wouldn't assume it is the same stuff that is made today.
