Usually what I do, but have a max of 3% on weight. I hold my pit sand to a slightly higher standard. Some may call it hubris, but so be it.

So I call up the sand place and tell them I want washed river sand with 0 to 2 mm graining, no organic components, maximum 3-5% of weight up to .20 mm?

Call a concrete company and get them to deliver some mason sand. If somebody starts bitching about it after landing in it tell them that it's washed river sand with 0 to 2 mm graining, no organic components, maximum 3-5% of weight up to .20 mm. Then tell em to eat a dick.

Get mine shipped in from the beaches off 30A
