A higher bearing rate will produce a greater bearing 'fan' which will limit the ranges based on an assumed speed. The lower the bearing rate, the greater number of possible rangees for a given speed (ie max range is greater).

There is also some funky math you can do to get range from ownship maneuvers, but I'm not sure I can post that here. I'll check.
