Local Armslist has a 1957 Savage 99 Model 300 in 300 H&H mag caliber. I didn't know Savage made these in 300 H&H mag.

They didn't. If you welded two actions together it probably still wouldn't fit, They had to open the actions up a little for the 308, 243 family of cartridges, Joe.
I'm not greedy, I just want one of each.

Wasn't there a 300 H&H prototype at the Savage factory in the 1950s?

You know that's a 300 savage and not anything else.

A couple years ago I saw a 99 in a pawn shop that had a tag that read ".300 Win Mag". I pointed it out to the female behind the counter and she said "Well what gauge is it?"

I've run into lots of folks at gun shows who ask what a 99 is chambered in, and when hearing 300 Savage they reply "Oh, I don't want anything nearly that big".
Sigh.

Did they EVER make a .300 H&H? Even a 110 bolt action? Win Mag I believe, but H&H? Maybe the guy just can't type.... Or needs to tone down the coffee intake!

It's been 30-35 years ago but some buddies and I rented a cabin to go bear hunting when Pa. reopened bear season after a couple of closed seasons. One of those guys showed up with a 99. Opening morning, he asked me "why won't the lever close?" I don't know how he did it but he had gotten a 300 Win Mag cartridge partly into the chamber and jammed under the cartridge cutoff or extractor or something. I don't recall how exactly but I do remember that it was wedged in there good.
In his defense, he was the non hunter in the family, he had borrowed the rifle from his Dad or brothers and had grabbed ammo for the '300'.
