>But the .357 has enough energy it will cavitate the head, just like the shotgun, and in doing so it will destroy every part of the brain blowing its head off even though several 9mm shots to the head weren't enough to cause that.
I don't know about that, you hit the right spot with even .22 caliber pistol, or even use birdshot at muzzle contact distance, you'd do the trick. Failing that, putting one in his neck, he'll lose the use of his body no matter how technically alive he is.

Also there's lots of good loads for 9mm Luger, there's +P 147gr hollowpoints, Swedish m/39b, all kinds of fun stuff that would definitely improve terminal ballistics.
There's more than 115gr and 124gr generic ball ammo.

>With the Hunters it could be much like it is with Bears and other wildlife, where the skull is just too thick to penetrate with the 9mm.
Well, yes, but you don't aim for a bear's skull when he charges you, it's really thick, sloped and has a double layer with a large sinus cavity going in it. The chance for even something powerful like .300WinMag or .270 Winchester has a serious chance to deflect against the angle of the skull, or fail to penetrate both layers.
You aim for his chest/'torso', hoping to hit his hearts, lungs, or to cause so much bloodloss so fast that he just keels over.
