So, apparently a very few .223 brass use a large primer and have three flash holes?
I think I only have one of these out of several hundred.

I don’t think I’ll reload it- there’s only one of them so far anyway. If the Iowa Glacier ever receeds there will be lots more good brass on the ground at the range.

That would be from them drilling through the old primer so they could use it as a sleeve to hold the boxer primer. I played around with converting Yugo M67 (7.62x39) brass for a bit. It worked but not that well. Problem is getting the “sleeves” to stay put.

If you don't already have a Ripley's Believe it or Not Shelf, start one and keep such oddities there. Beats the heck out of little spoons from the different places you've visited.
Keep an eye out for member suzispapa. I told him to drop you a PM. He lives about 25 miles west of you. Perhaps swap roast spiral cut ham recipes. Damn! Swore I wouldn't go there...
