Same here (called "crusher sand" or "screenings" up here in SE Michigan). I just put 250 tons on my site. I was about 1 foot higher on one end of my 72' PB site so I filled the base to about 6" above the high end. I didn't get it perfectly flat, though.

When it's up, I'll fill in the sides against the skirt boards from the inside with crusher sand and backfill with topsoil on the outside.
When doing the fill, I was having semis drop material and then I'd spread and run over it with my tractor in about 3-6" lifts. By the time I got one load packed, they were back with another. Set up real well and the fully loaded trucks didn't make a dent in the base when they drove over it.
