Between .010 and .020 at the lobe/lifter end will usually get you reasonably close on a mystery cam.

The variables/limits are noise/impact damage at the large end and "no start" at the low end of the common ranges. A cam designer will also take lifter diameter, lobe profile grinding capability and durability needs into account when making the choice.
