Max bomb Weight: Bomb load up to 6,614 lbs (3000kg) or 3 Hs 293, 294 or FX-1400 Fritz-X

Ranges vary by marks. Wuzak posted for the A-5. The B-2 was supposed to be able to go 4,970 miles.

The book 'Heinkel He 177, 277 274' by Grielh Dressel talks about there being doubts that the He 277 could live up to that 4,900ml claimed range potential.
I guess we'll never really know for sure.
 
The Heinkel 277 would have been a great performer with 4 DB-604c or Ju-225 engines with a 2 stage or in the DB-604 the D that was to be a 3stage.Using the DB-628 design stage two design.

If the Jumo 211 powered He-177B had been produced I assume it would have been superseded by the He-274 if/when DB603 or Jumo213 engines become available. Just as the Jumo 211 powered Ju-88A became the Jumo 213 powered Ju-88G.
