What kind of rifle used this shell case?

I'm no expert but from what I've read ...

The marking "6PR" suggests a 6-pounder, for example the QF 6-pounder Hotchkiss

The arrow mean accepted into service

"N" means Naval service

"IV" means a Mark 4 casing

"CF" means cordite filled

"1917" is the year of manufacture"

what mean this symbol on the bottom?

As sempaiscuba commented: "The symbol is the original manufacturer of the shell case." Often initials were used but sometimes the "original contractor" used a trademark of some sort.

Here's an example from a different calibre:

From "Treatise on Ammunition, 10th Edition, War Office, 1915"
