Can use the link above to look at the spell's stats (cast time/recast etc.), and the quotes below. Math can be done to determine the range of bolts.

THE SAFEST WAY TO BURN - A GREAT SPELL, By Upyer of qellious (1/28/2001)

Use this as you opener at maximum distance and you might even have time to get two in before your root. The bolt spell has a longer range than most attack spells. If you open at maximum distance and retreat as soon as it goes off, then hit again (optional), then root - retreating to maximum range all the time as soon as your spell goes off and rerooting when necessary. Do a twist before any recast (left or right a small bit) to stop the movement and keep down interruptions. With SOW it works a treat. A big range and a top spell!
GREAT RANGE, By Kysos (1/28/2001)

This spell has increadable range, cast this as your draw spell far from the monster and you can easily get another spell off before the monster gets to you. This has a much farther range than the shock line of spells, and by hitting them with this and a shock spell they will be over half dead by the time they come to melee you.

I am starting to use some of the Wizard bolts for this reference. Bolt spells are also a problem for Wizards on P99. They both have the same mechanics.
