Your mystery bullet is a late-1860s/early-1870s Snider-Enfield .577 Rifle bullet, made in Britain, and used in Canada by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.

With bullets - knowing what it was from does not guarantee when it was from.
You could still buy paper patched loaded .577 Snider ammo from Old Dominion Cartridge Co (Montreal) into the 1920's.
