I do, been doing it for a couple of years now, so I'm still kind of a n00b- I just stick to proven recipies and don't experiment much.
I have a Dillon 550RL progressive press on the bench.
Reloading can be done any number of ways to suit your lifestyle, and it breaks down into wether you have more time than money, or vice-versa.
If I were advising a single person without much money, I'd say go with a Lee or a less expensive press, maybe even single stage. For me, with small kids and not much time, I decided to sink the $500 into the Dillon setup so I could do more loading in less time, but then again I could spare the $500.00.
It's best to start as early as you can- your equipment will last you a lifetime, more or less, so the more you load, and the less you pay per round, then it breaks even earlier in your shooting career and gets more and more cost efficient.

If you want to get into it, do this: before buying anything, buy at lesat two, but preferebaly three reloading books. Speer reloading Manual, Lyman's reloading handbook, and Hogden's relaoding manual. Also buy one of the basic Handloading books by George C Nonte. Jr. Read these. The more reading you do, the better off you are.
Nonte's books are old, but the basics haven't changed any. This book is to give you the basic "how-to's" on reloading. They give info on reloading steps, types of reloaders, pressures, etc. The Reloading manuals give specifics, and DO change, and are updated every so often, so you want to grab the latest ones- they reflect new powders, bullets and primers on the market.
Personally I have Nonte's book, and Speer Reloading #13, and Lyman's 48th edition. The reason that you want more than one book is that two books will give two different maximum pressure recipes for the same bullet, powder and primer combination, depending on the book's safety margin.
Reloading is just like shooting- it's very rewarding and safe but if you don't know what you are doing, or ignore common safety measures, you can hurt yourself badly. Don't let the initial apparent complexity scare you off, it's not that bad once you start reading.
