Winchester says that's a good thing!

I bought a box of 10 rounds of Winchester PDX1 Defender slugs, which are Foster style "segmented" rifled slugs.

The advertising hype printed on the box states:
"Programmed notching on inside/outside of slug ensures positive expansion and segmenting at short and long range

Slug breaks into three segments upon impact - compensates for aim error and provides critical penetration"

These are marketed for personal defense, with "Stop The Threat" a registered trademark printed on the box.

I am considering using them on deer. Should I?

What is your opinion?
