 I would shoot the top picture .655, not as many hits as the IC .655 but looks to be more even spread patter.  :z-twocents:

Patterns are a lot easier to compare and analyze when shot on a large piece of paper with a 10 and 20" circle drawn without the busyness of the turkey head target superimposed, but from the pix, I would choose the top pattern due to its eveness. And if you are into such things, look at the number of CNS hits on the top target vs the others.
