I do it all the time on my 40x, CZ's, 77/22's and Marlin 25 & 917 .... ain't that tough ... If my meat hooks can do it, most should. Actually the follower on my Marlin 25 does get in the way of single loading after thinking about it.

FWIW there is an outfit that makes such a device ... Compass lake or the other good service rifle upper maker (WOA). One of them makes a 22lr upper and make a single loading device thingy .... check it out. http://www.compasslake.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=22&products_id=91
