On page 1 I laid out how I get a dog to range far. One thing I didn't mention thst I see a lot- when you are wanting a young dog to go- you cannot be the center of his universe. I make sure I don't have a real connection to a dog until it's hunting the way I want. I see range as an issue of confidence, independence and pack order. I think ALL dogs have it in them to hunt a half deep if that's what you want.
Bottom is more on the dog, I didn't say you could train for bottom, I said your actions can affect it! Usually in a bad way.
I have seen so many crossed up stray dogs make outstanding hog dogs that I am forced to the nurture side of the debate. Of course, like rueben pointed out you can't nurture a Bassett into being faster.
