Mixture of KNO3 and KClO3?
And yes I searched this forum thoroughly  if there's already a thread on
this, I'll be damned!
Anyways. Why aren't oxidizers ever mixed: chlorate, perchlorate or nitrate (of any cation)?

Ofcourse they are mixed sometimes. Your question is way too vague. Which application? Pyro? Sorry, not allowed here.
In solution? Sure, why not?
While I'm at it, I'm going to revoke your posting abilities for a week because it seems you do need a poke with the stick before you drop
the cocky attitude.
One shouldn't accept or resort to the mutilation of science to appease the mentally impaired.

The reason nitrates and chlorates are not mixed I believe applies mainly to fireworks. Nitrate can be reduced to ammonium by any metal in the
composition (aluminum, magnesium, etc) and that with a chlorate may form ammonium chlorate, which is unstable and can easily ignite the rest of the
mixture.
