  1. The real purpose of the accelerator is to start extracting the case from the chamber when the barrel is still moving, so that, when the barrel stops, the case doesn't suddenly pass, in respect to it, from "0" to maximum speed, since the too abrupt extraction can damage the case and even cause case head separation. It also reduces felt recoil, since part of the energy of the recoiling barrel is transfered to the frame before the end of it's travel.

  2. Then the Desert Eagle did the brutal thing, and made the .44 Mag. rimless, not by trimming the rim, but by making the rest of the case larger than the rim (the .50 Action Express).

  3.  @antoninolatorre8355  The shooter feels the recoil first when the recoiling barrel impacts the frame and stops (so transfering it's energy to the frame, and the hand of the shooter) and then when the recoiling bolt impacts the frame and stops (same as above). The more sudden is the transfer of the energy (a hit instead of a push), the more the felt recoil. The accelerator makes so that part of the energy of the recoiling barrel (that so slows down before impacting the frame) is transfered to the bolt and part to the frame, so it reduces the felt recoil, because the transfer of the energy is less sudden.
