I'm not sure of the exact range but some US battleships could fire a shell 23 miles.

*********************

The USS Iowa had a main battery of Mk 7 16"/50 caliber guns- the barrels were 50 times long as wide. They could shoot different shells, one as heavy as 2700 lbs. The max range was given as 41,662 yards- or a bit over 23 miles.

Can you shoot oo buck magnum out of a regular non magnum shotgun safely?

In general, no. Unless the gun is marked for 3 inch (or even 3 1/2 inch) shells, you should not attempt to fire 3 inch Magnum shells, even if they seem to fit. However, if you have a gun made for 2 3/4 inch shells, and have 2 3/4 inch "magnum" shells, IF your gun is safe to shoot, it should be safe to shoot those "baby" magnums.
