if you just want to know for your own good, the Civil Engineering Reference Manual has a table that i think keeps it simple for the Std Proctor. You can see why <95 pcf is sometimes spec'd as unsuitable soils.
If you want to know about crushed gravel, quarries usually keep proctors on their stone that are usually right-on with what we would pound out in the lab. Beware that some people at quarries will tell you the "Proctor" number, but they may have no idea if it is Modified or Standard or what the difference is. Quarries sometimes keep records for Proctors of their overburden sand-rock too.
I prefer my ASTM calibrated squeeze for Proctor testing and thumbpush for the density testing.
