thought it would be cool for him to shoot the same caliber as his dad when he's 15 or so, plus the ammo availability.

That's actually a really good idea. One of my friends did the same thing when his his grandsons were young and hunted in the same stand w/ him. He figured that way he didn't have to worry about loading the wrong ammo and would have sufficient ammo for both guns.

curious as to why I would stray from my faithful Core-Lokt.

I know you've heard of the phrase, "If it ain't broke......" From your experience w/ Core Lokt's , it sounds as if it's going to be impossible for a new bullet to be an improvement over the CL. OTOH, just wanting to try something different is always a sufficient reason to change bullets. The Partition is a fine bullet, but it's really not necessary to use a controlled expansion bullet on the size of whitetail deer we have around here.
