Micah 6:8
He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?

I may be discharged and retired but I'm sure I did not renounce the oath that I solemnly swore!
Kind of forgot this was here. I haven’t had time to play with it but this is a 3D printable version shared now.

Very similar to the way I did the device that sorts cases by weight.

Dabbled in machine vision reading coins. It can be quite accurate and fast. This company is a leader:

I don't imagine you need their bleeding edge tech to accomplish your goal. Lots of minty used equipment available through various industrial surplus sources and eBay so you don't break the bank.
I had the same thought once, I might even still have the camera in my garage somewhere. I’m not remembering much about it , I say that more often lately, but you won’t have to read every character just enough to distinguish one from another and the military brass can be the final sort that catches everything not recognized. I wish you luck with your quest.
The sooner I fall behind...the more time I have to catch up with
Working for a company that designs and builds custom machines for a variety of operations allows me to comment a bit on this. Working on the design side of the business this is a great idea however becomes very costly in a hurry. Between the machine frame, electronics, feeding systems, custom programming and developing a system to feed several size cartridges and so on.....
It has been done and can be done however out of the reach cost wise for most hand-loaders. The auto feeding system is a big cost as well as the camera. Working on a project that will have 2 cameras and a bar code reader = $$$$.
Wonder if we could develop a simple cost affective concept with all that knowledge we have in this area?
Very nice, and, better yet, affordable!
