Ampacity	95 A (NEC Table 310.16, 60 C column)
Largest breaker	95 A, or the next standard size up where NEC 240.4(B) allows
Voltage drop at 100 ft	3.69 V, 1.5 percent at 95 A and 240 V single phase
Run length for 3 percent drop	About 195 ft one way at 95 A and 240 V

What breaker can 2/3 NM-B Copper Cable, Black go on?: Its ampacity is 95 A (60 C column of NEC Table 310.16). The breaker can be that size, or the next standard size up where NEC 240.4(B) allows it. Derate first for more than three current-carrying conductors or high ambient heat.
How far can I run it before voltage drop is a problem?: At 95 A on a 240 V single phase circuit, about 195 ft one way keeps the drop at 3 percent, the figure an informational note to NEC 210.19(A) suggests for branch circuits. Try other loads in the voltage drop calculator.
Can it be buried directly in the ground?: No, and not in underground conduit either: conduit below grade is a wet location, and NEC 334.12 keeps NM cable out of wet and damp locations. Use UF-B, or wet-rated conductors such as THWN-2 or XHHW-2 in conduit.
Can I buy it by the foot?: Yes, cut to length in whole feet from 25 ft, or on 125, 500, 1,000 ft spools. Cut wire is final sale; uncut spools can be returned within 30 days.
