I think we can read. You had a failure with an animal and want to find a way to improve your bullet's performance.
If they kill just fine in the chest just shoot them there instead of the head.
You don't need expansion to destroy the brain, just the force of the bullet impact will do that, as long as you can penetrate the skull. Brains are like jelly, even a bullet bouncing off a skull can sometimes do fatal damage to the brain inside.
