Can somebody explain what is difference with the Lapua .22 ammo? How about schönebeck´s ammo´s, are them near each other?

It is just three different quality grades of the same ammo.
(Just like Eley Team - Match - Tenex.)

Center-X is "standard" quality, and I would compare it to the previous Master, while Midas+ and X-act are more for competition. I guess that X-act performs slightly better at Lapus own test shootings.

The SK (Schönebeck) ammo and Lapua are produced at the same place, but in different production lines, so you can't really compare them. In my opionon, Lapua is a more high end product, while SK is more "standard".

I have been shooting center X for a while now and can say it is excellent ammunition, I have used 3 different batches now and it groups far better than Eley match that I had been using before. This also applies to other club members who are using it also.And it's a lot cleaner ammo than Eley.Colin.

Eley still uses wax to stop the lead oxidizing, unlike Laupa who now use a cleaner synthetic type coating. This only applies to the cleanliness of the breach.
Eley is by far cleaner in the barrel, it doesn't leave half as much crap in the barrel as Laupa/SK.

Beg to differ but there is far less muck that comes out of the barrel after using Lapua than it did with Eley. Lapua is a graphite coated bullet with a waxy lube over it, but I'm not sure what the lube is.The gritty stuff that came out after using the Eley ammo was unbelievable.Colin

I'll have to buy some new Lapua ammo and check again, but last time I used it (When the new Midas/Centre X and X-act came out) it was definitely a lot more dirty in my barrel then Eley ? But I must say, the stuff I tested when it came out did shoot pretty well.

Where does Lapua Pistol King stand in the line of grades? Is it the same as the other types but of a less quality?

I have never tested it, but I would guess it is close to the quality of Center-X...? They have similar pricing.
