Default Limestone dust vs. sand for concrete base

I am pouring a small sidewalk area with concrete. I have a large supply of
limestone (1/2" small rocks and dust) available close at hand, but would
have to buy and haul sand to use as the base for the concrete. Can the
limestone be used successfully instead of the sand? Given that either will
be tamped well before concrete poured. Thank you.
