Can anyone provide me specs on "CR 610 limestone." Thanks, MG

Love to try and help you out bud, but either I've never heard of CR 610 Limestone or your question is a little vague. Do you have a few more details regarding your inquest (ie proposed application, site details, location, construction usage, etc).

610 is a local spec (not an astm specification) for the south/southeastern united states. i have recently run across the "standard" gradation for this material and can provide it to you should you need it. Thanks for the responses.

civilmg is right. 610 is a commonly specified dense-graded crushed aggregate in the Southeast. From a gradation standpoint it usually runs from 3/4 inch to dust, and maximum dry density for a limestone or dolomite derived aggregate is on the order of 140 pcf.
