I never heard of it being called "pug mill". Up here, a pug mill is the part of the asphalt plant where they mix the stone and asphalt cement. In these parts, they call the material you refer to "runnercrush", which is basically 2" or 3/4" minus (depending on how you order it) crusher run limestone. Here, the limestone is dolomite that is hard enough for the state DOT to allow it for high friction top course, so it doesn't cement as well as you say, but it still makes a good top course. But, for a driveway in snow country it does complicate snow blowing, you have to build a base of packed snow, so the little stones won't get in the snowblower and break the shear pin.
