There appears to be a consensus od opinion that to 300mm budget zooms are generally lacking at the long end. My offer to you is to consider an old manual prime, this option will engender other image problems like CA and some loss of contrast but at least this can be a cheap option. I had a Vivitar 300mm F5.6 which I coupled to an old Vivitar 1.5x teleconverter, this image taken at 1/1000th of a second, ISO 1600 Aperture unknown. As you can see it has many problems but for a total of £30 GBP for both items, was worth my trying, it certainly gave me the distance!
The best option is as has already been mentioned may be to try and get as close as possible to your subject and then reduce the FL of your 55-300mm to around 200mm to improve your shots.
