Possibly that headstamp code is for:

United States Cartridge Co., Lowell, MA

United States Cartridge Co, they used the following headstamps: U.S., *U.S CARTRIDGE CO*,U.S.C. CO. or RL (1869 to 1936).

Here's a different shell casing by them with same US making.

1-175.webp

Check Canadian head stamps.
