What is your favorite drill that includes reloading?
It doesn’t have to be anything fancy, just something that works for you. Is it mid-magazine? Timed? End of Magazine?
Here’s a fun one: https://www.usconcealedcarry.com/blog/the-devil-drill/
I load magazines with different amounts then mix them up, usually 4 to 7 rounds so the weight isn’t too noticeable. Then I go thru a course of fire not know how many rounds I have. Keeps me honest. I also practice from different positions of kneeling, prone, sitting

Similar to @Sheepdog556 I put a different amount of ammo into each mag. I will also randomly load an empty casing to cause a misfire/jam. I also try exercises with where the spare mags are. Are they in a jean pocket? Jacket pocket? IWB mag holster? Etc.

Have a friend load a random snap-cap in a magazine. Practice remedial action, including a mag change if necessary.
If allowed on your range, practice movement and do a mag change when it’s your choice, not when it’s necessary. Swapping out mags when you have cover is much preferred over dropping a mag when you’re in the open because you weren’t counting your rounds.
