I have a Canon 50D and 2 lenses - 18-135 and a 70-300. I'm thinking of adding a telephoto prime lens in the 500-600mm range. Is there anything out there that I might find on the used market in the $500 - $750 range that would be a significant increase in photo quality? Would the Canon RF 600mm f/11 IS STM work with my EOS 50D?

Are you still talking "prime" lens here? If you are than, no, there is not. One of the 150-600mm super zooms is your answer. Otherwise the best prime tele is the EF 400mm f5.6L which is only available used since it has been discontinued. There is 500mm and 600mm primes but they are very expensive even used.

"The 300mm is great too and has image stabilization, not as long a reach but..."
Oh, man, you are so right. I love the ef 300 mmf4L. Here's the kicker, buy the ef 300mm f4l and the 1.4x tel-con. You end up with a 420mm f5.6 that has IS. The ef 300mm has even better IQ than the ef 400mm so it has room to give the tel-con and still be great.
