Hi:
It's not the shape of the bullet that has caught my initial concern, its the weight of the bullet.
The mechanical system of the pistol was designed for a 123 grain projectile.
Lighter bullets will work with a slightly heavier powder charge.
Some heavier projectiles will also work. I've fired 130 grain bullets with success with a slightly reduced charge.
The 147 grain sounds like it may give you some feeding problems because the springs were not originally timed for such a heavy bullet. You won't know until you fire them. The pistol may function, but it will depend upon the powder charge.
Also, the length of the cartridges and the shape of the bullets may cause jams.
The Luger is a demanding pistol. If the least little thing isn't right, it will jam. When everything is in order, it can be fantastically reliable.
Good luck!!
